Book Summary
This book examines the case for emergence in contemporary science and philosophy. A variety of recent scientific results have challenged a reductively physicalist understanding of the natural world, suggesting instead that evolution produces a series of interrelated but irreducible levels of organization. If sustained, these data require revisions not only within the philosophy of science but also to standard views of consciousness, culture, and religion. German text.
