RESUMEN
La existencia de propiedades biológicas sobrevinientes a las propiedades físicas no invalida el desarrollo de programas de investigación biológica de corte reduccionista como el de la Biología Molecular. La existencia de tales propiedades deja margen para el desarrollo de programas de investigación biológica que no asuman ese enfoque, pero no deslegitima los resultados obtenidos por programas que sí lo hacen. Sin embargo, reconocer que existen distintos grados de sobreviniencia, puede ayudarnos a determinar en dónde es dable esperar que la molecularización de la Biología genere lucros cognitivos efectivos y dónde es de temer lo contrario.

ABSTRACT
The existence of biological properties that supervene on physical properties, do not invalidate the development of reductionist biological research programs such as Molecular Biology. The existence of such properties leaves room for the development of biological research programs that do not take that approach, but it does not annul results obtained by programs that follow that reductionist approach. However, recognizing that there are different degrees of supervenience, can help us to determine where we should expect that the molecularization of Biology could generate cognitive profits and where we shouldn’t expect that.
