伊丽莎白·巴恩斯草案,2010年4月摘要:在这篇文章中,我主张用一种新的方式来描述本体论的涌现。我呼吁最近关于基本性和依赖性的形而上学的讨论,并展示如何使用这些概念简单而直接地描述涌现。然后我认为,许多关于涌现的标准问题并不适用于这个描述:给定一个明确指定的形而上学背景,涌现变得更容易解释。如果我的论点是成功的,它们既表明了一种有用的思维方式的出现,也展示了当应用于一阶形而上学时,形而上学中的讨论的潜在效用。
Elizabeth Barnes Draft, April 2010 Abstract: In this paper, I argue for a new way of characterizing ontological emergence. I appeal to recent discussions in metaontology of fundamentality and dependence, and show how emergence can be simply and straightforwardly characterized using these notions. I then argue that many of the standard problems for emergence don’t apply to this account: given a clearly specified metaontological background, emergence becomes much easier to explicate. If my arguments are successful, they show both a helpful way of thinking emergence and the potential utility of discussions in metaontology when applied to first-order metaphysics..
