Описание: This book is the first comprehensive attempt to solve what Hartry Field has called "the central problem in the metaphysics of causation": the problem of reconciling the need for causal notions in the special sciences with the limited role of causation in physics.

Описание: Physics underlies allcomplexity, including our own existence: how is this possible? How can our ownlives emerge from interactions of electrons, protons, and neutrons? This bookconsiders the interaction of physical and non-physical causation in complexsystems such as living beings, and in particular in the human brain, relatingthis to the emergence of higher levels of complexity with real causal powers.In particular it explores the idea of top-down causation, which is the keyeffect allowing the emergence of true complexity and also enables the causalefficacy of non-physical entities, including the value of money, socialconventions, and ethical choices.

Описание: The difference between cause and effect seems obvious and crucial in ordinary life, yet missing from modern physics. Almost a century ago, Bertrand Russell called the law of causality `a relic of a bygone age`. In this important collection 13 leading scholars revisit Russell`s revolutionary conclusion, discussing one of the most significant and puzzling issues in contemporary thought.
