Description

Explore the complex relationship between physical structures and the macroscopic world with Metaphysical Emergence from Oxford University Press. This academic work examines how entities like mountains, trees, humans, and sculptures exist as distinct features that depend on lower-level physical configurations while remaining distinctively efficacious. This book addresses fundamental questions regarding the nature of reality. It seeks to provide a precise definition of what metaphysical emergence actually is. Furthermore, it investigates whether such emergence exists in principle and whether it is a factual part of our world. By analyzing both the special sciences and ordinary experience, this text offers a systematic look at how higher-level goings-on relate to their physical foundations. It is an essential resource for those studying the connections between physical layers and the emergent features of our environment.
