(p.393) Thereductionist hypothesismay still be a topic for controversy among philosophers, but among the great majority of active scientists I think it is accepted without questions. The workings of our minds and bodies, and of all the animate or inanimate matter of which we have any detailed knowledge, are assumed to be controlled bythe same set of fundamental laws, which except under certain extreme conditions we feel we know pretty well.

  (…)The main fallacy in this kind of thinking is that the reductionist hypothesis does not by any means imply a "constructionist" one: The ability to reduce everything to simple fundamental lawsdoes not imply the ability to start from those laws and reconstruct the universe.
