	Emergent philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emergent philosophies are those newly formed philosophies which are at, or are on the cusp of serious recognition as philosophical schools and theories.
		Since currently the preponderance of the emergent philosophies are or appear to be inspired by or related to developments in technology, we have elected to deal with them within this ambit rather than in the realm of pure philosophy.
		German idealism was an emergent school of philosophy between 1781 (with the publication of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason) and, probably, 1807 (with the publication of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit).

	Bedau: Philosophical Content and Method in Artificial Life
		One example of the impact of artificial life on the content of philosophy is the light it sheds on the perennial philosophical question of the nature of emergent pheonomena in general.
		Since the ultimate plausibility of the emergent approach to mental dynamics depends, as one might say, on "putting your model where your mouth is," one might in fairness demand proponents of this approach to start building models.
		The success of the emergent models in artificial life argues that emergent models of supple mental dynamics are a promising avenue to explore.

	Emergent Properties
		The existence of emergent qualities thus described is something to be noted, as some would say, under the compulsion of brute empirical fact, or, as I should prefer to say in less harsh terms, to be accepted with the “natural piety” of the investigator.
		Predictive: Emergent properties are systemic features of complex systems which could not be predicted (practically speaking; or for any finite knower; or for even an ideal knower) from the standpoint of a pre-emergent stage, despite a thorough knowledge of the features of, and laws governing, their parts.
		Do emergent features necessarily appear in all systems attaining a requisite level of complexity, or is this at best a contingent fact?) Nor does he indicate a position on the nature of causation itself, an issue that is crucial to understanding what the nonsupervenience of causal powers amounts to.

	Faith and Reason (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Philosophy as a discipline should be open to embrace them, and a philosophy open to them is richer and more comprehensive than one that is not.
		As long as philosophy is metaphysics, and metaphysics is taken to be a totally autonomous and context-free a-historical science, theology and every discipline is at risk of having change imposed upon it from without, for developments within philosophy have the power to make broad changes in all semantic networks.
		Philosophy of this kind makes a wager with history that human life and society are seeded with emergent novelty and charged with the mystery of transformation, development, and renewal.

	Emergence
		The causal powers of purported emergents are the focus of much concern (Campbell, D. T., 1974b, 1990; Kim, 1992a, 1993b), but the criteria of novelty and the notion of levels are also of importance and interest (Wimsatt, 1976a, 1976b).
		Emergents in time -- in history or evolution or cosmology, for example -- are simply the first occurrences of whatever the emergent is claimed to be.
		If there were anything emergent beyond that, it could not be causally efficacious on pain of violating the completeness of the account of the physical world at those lower levels.

	Complexity Digest Forum: RE: Types and Forms of Emergence
		In reality, not in the realm of abstract concepts, but in reality, all emergent patterns of organization, properties, entities, or situations are reducible in principle simply because their emergence, and their existence thereafter, are existentially based on the natures of their components and the manner of their togetherness.
		Emergent properties exist as nothing more than the subunits of which they are composed and the manner in which those subunits are interrelated.
		When the focus is on any emergent level, whether it is low in the hierarchy, mid-level, or the top level, it is always viewed within the context of all the other levels, those that existentially support it and those where it plays a role within a larger whole.

		But if, in terms of emergent evolution, the aim of a constructive philosophy be to trace the inter-relations of all events, psychical as well as physical, under one comprehensive scheme, the outcome of that endeavour may perhaps be regarded as a creed.
		Hence pyramidal interpretation that of emergent evolution-is, figuratively speaking, under double constraint; (i) that imposed by the constitutive structure of nature, and (ii) that imposed by the regulative structure of a logical field as such.
		Of emergent evolution, in so far as it claims to be a philosophical system, idealists say that, instead of explaining (as any self-respecting philosophy should explain) the world in terms of mind, it vainly endeavours to interpret mind as itself the outcome of an evolutionary process.

		The Philosophy of Conwy Lloyd Morgan is a delineation and critical examination of Morgan's philosophy of Emergent Evolution.
		Philosophy is thus branded as a realm of study in which nothing can be proved or disproved.
		Philosophy has proved some self-sufficing beliefs, one of which is that beliefs are to be accepted as true or false only temporarily and provisionally, based upon the evidence given, until new evidence possibly supersedes the old.

		It is the business of science, and of a philosophy which keeps in touch with science, to describe the course of events in this or that instance of their occurrence, and to discover the plan.
		And the emergent step, though it may seem more or less saltatory, is best regarded as a qualitative change of direction, or critical turningpoint, in the course of events.
		One could not foretell the emergent character of vital events from the fullest possible knowledge of physico-chemical events only, if life be an emergent chord and not merely due to the summation, however complex, of constituent a-notes.

		These teaching duties were interrupted in 1933 by his spending a year in Berlin studying an emergent philosophy - phenomenology - and attending lectures given by its founder Edmund Husserl.
		Since the existentialist values free will and wants others to respect his or her freedom, the ethical system developed is based upon free expression.
		Sartre's philosophy is explicitly atheistic and pessimistic; he declared that human beings require a rational basis for their lives but are unable to achieve one, and thus human life is a "futile passion." He nevertheless insisted that his Existentialism is a form of humanism, and he strongly emphasized human freedom, choice, and responsibility.

		The occurrence of an emergent pattern of material organization that is pushed into existence, caused to occur, is a form of development—causal development.
		Emergent development plays a role in the development-of-origin of causal development, and causal development plays a role in through-flow development.
		For cases that are not overly complex, graduate students can analyze and map out in continuously connected detail the manner in which the intrinsic qualities of the components of an emergent whole determine, within the context of their manner of coming together, exactly how the interrelating existential-pathway-developments create the emergent whole.

		To some extent these debates pick up where Foucault’s understanding of biopolitics left off, placing questions about forms of discipline and governance in the context of globalization and attempting to explain the mechanics of subject-making in terms of economic, state, and repressive power as well as the liberatory politics such efforts might inspire.
