Title Natural Fabrications : Science, Emergence and Consciousness Author(s) Seager, William Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. Description VIII, 264 p : online resource Abstract Note The spectacular success of the scientific enterprise over the last four hundred years has led to the promise of an all encompassing vision of the natural world. In this elegant picture, everything we observe is based upon just a few fundamental processes and entities. The almost infinite variety and complexity of the world is thus the product of emergence. But the concept of emergence is fraught with controversy and confusion. This book ponders the question of how emergence should be understood within the scientific picture, and whether a complete vision of the world can be attained that includes consciousness ISBN,Price 9783642295997 Keyword(s) 1.
