A prototypical conceptualization of mechanisms
A prototypical conceptualization of mechanisms (PCM) is constructed. • PCM provides a simple approach to categorizing diverse phenomena as mechanisms. • PCM helps characterize a given mechanism's degree of typicality and its type. • PCM helps enumerate the methods of mechanistic investigation. • PCM helps identify the limits of mechanistic explanation
The Reemergence of ‘Emergence’
A variety of recent philosophical discussions, particularly on topics relating to complexity, have begun to reemploy the concept of ‘emergence’. Although multiple concepts of ‘emergence’ are available, little effort has been made to systematically distinguish them. In this paper, I provide a taxonomy of higher-order properties that (inter alia) distinguishes three classes of emergent properties: (1) ontologically basic properties of complex entit…
