Pluralism Concerning the Weather
This paper argues that the belief in God's action in response to petitionary prayers and the scientific description of the weather should both be upheld. I discuss critically several attempts to resolve the tension between the two perspectives, such as postulating God's supernatural intervention or his tweaking of the statistics of quantum events or of chaotic fluctuations. Instead, I argue that all scientific theories are idealizations with a li…
The Two Faces of Semi-Physicalism
This paper responds to Halvorson’s reflections on hylomorphism by addressing its quantum application (Koons and Simpson) and contextually emergent physics (Ellis and Drossel). It also critiques physicalist interpretations of quantum mechanics and argues for the fundamental nature of thermodynamic phenomena. Koons, Simpson, Ellis and Drossel defend hylomorphism as a framework that challenges dogmatic semi-physicalism. They examine causal pluralism…
