There have long been controversies about how it is that minds can
fit into a physical universe. Emergence in Mind presents new essays
by a distinguished group of philosophers investigating whether
mental properties can be said to 'emerge' from the physical
processes in the universe. Such emergence requires mental
properties to be different from physical properties, and much of
the discussion relates to what the consequences of such a
difference might be in areas such as freedom of the will, and the
possibility of scientific explanations of non-physical (for
example, social) phenomena. The volume also extends the debate
about emergence by considering the independence of chemical
properties from physical properties, and investigating what would
need to be the case for there to be groups that could be said to
exercise rationality.
