One form of scientific reductionism follows the belief that every single process in nature can be broken down into its constituent parts and can be described scientifically.
The broadest sense of the term upholds the idea that science can be used to explain everything, and that nothing is unknowable. By looking at the individual constituent processes, scientists can gain an understanding of the whole process.
For example, a reductionist believes that the complexity of the human brain is a result of complex and interacting physical processes. If scientists research and understand these underlying chemical reactions, then they can explain intelligence, emotion and all of the other human conditions.
The only way to comprehend fully the sheer complexity of the human brain is to look at the individual pieces.
