Abstract:
Emergent Properties: One of the most exciting new concepts to enter the realm of science in recent decades is that of ’emergent properties’. To be sure, the idea – that the property of a whole is not reducible to its individual components – has been around for a long time. But its unfortunate association with scientifically disreputable schools of thought such as vitalism has not encouraged scientists and philosophers to consider it seriously.
