Examining emergent properties in quantum systems and their implications for scientific explanation is an interdisciplinary research that holds enormous benefits for new insights and gains. This study explored the limitations of reductionist approaches in quantum mechanics through a philosophical analysis of emergence and holism. This study shall challenge the dominant reductionist paradigm using the critical method of Philosophy. The findings revealed the importance of holistic perspectives in understanding complex quantum phenomena as it contributes to the ongoing debates in the philosophy of science.
Keywords: Reductionism, Emergence, Holism, Quantum Mechanics, Scientific Explanation, Complexity.
