In Search of Ontological Emergence: Diachronic, But Non-supervenient
Axiomathes 24 (1):89-116 (2014)
Abstract
Most philosophical accounts of emergence are based on supervenience, with supervenience being an ontologically synchronic relation of determination. This conception of emergence as a relation of supervenience, I will argue, is unable to make sense of the kinds of emergence that are widespread in self-organizing and nonlinear dynamical systems, including distributed cognitive systems. In these dynamical systems, an emergent property is ontological and diachronic.Author's Profile
