Much of the modern period was dominated by a `reductionist' theory
of science. On this view, to explain any event in the world is to
reduce it down to fundamental particles, laws, and forces. In
recent years reductionism has been dramatically challenged by a
radically new paradigm called `emergence'. According to this new
theory, natural history reveals the continuous emergence of novel
phenomena: new structures and new organisms with new causal powers.
Consciousness is yet one more emergent level in the natural
hierarchy. Many theologians and religious scholars believe that
this new paradigm may offer new insights into the nature of God and
God's relation to the world. This volume introduces readers to
emergence theory, outlines the major arguments in its defence, and
summarizes the most powerful objections against it. Written by
experts but suitable as an introductory text, these essays provide
the best available presentation of this exciting new field and its
potentially momentous implications.
