We find "vertical" relations in many different realms, whether
between atoms and molecules, words and sentences, neurons and
brains, or individuals and societies. This book is the first to
bring together, and comparatively assess, the exciting array of
philosophical approaches to vertical relations that have
independently sprung up in analytic metaphysics, the metaphysics of
mind, and the philosophy of science. Analytic metaphysicians have
recently focused on a relation of 'Ground' that is claimed to be
found in aesthetics, ethics, logic, mathematics, science, and
semantics. Metaphysicians of mind have focussed on a vertical
relation of 'realization' between properties, whilst philosophers
of science associated with the rise of the 'New Mechanism' have
renewed interest in vertical relations of scientific composition
found in so-called "mechanistic explanations". This volume analyses
the inter-relations between these different approaches to spark a
range of new debates, including whether the various frameworks for
vertical relations are independent, complementary or in even
competition.
