The Question of Emergence: Sociology vs. Physics - Routledge Studies in Critical Realism
Porpora, Douglas V. (Drexel University, USA)
This book takes the relationship between physics and sociology as its subject, focussing on the philosophical dispute between emergentism and reductionism. It argues that the mystery behind emergence disappears when we abandon the lawful understanding of causality, in favour of a powers view.
