[214]-229) and index.From reduction to emergence -- Defining emergence -- Emergence in the natural sciences -- Emergence and mind -- Emergence and transcendence.Strong claims have been made for emergence as a new paradigm for understanding science, consciousness, and religion. Tracing the past history and current definitions of the concept, Clayton assesses the case for emergent phenomena in the natural world and their significance for philosophy and theology. Complex emergent phenomena require irreducible levels of explanation in physics, chemistry and biology. This pattern of emergence suggests a new approach to the problem of consciousness, which is neither reducible to brain states nor proof of a mental substance or soul. Although emergence does not entail classical theism, it is compatible with a variety of religious positions. Clayton concludes with a defence of emergentist panentheism and a Christian constructive theology consistent with the new sciences of emergence.Philosophical theologyPhilosophy of mindElectronic books.Philosophical theology.Philosophy of mind.128/.2Clayton Philip1956-943068MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451869003321Mind and emergence2466048UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
