The viability of Weak emergence
Wilson considers and responds to a range of objections to the schema for Weak emergence and the associated ‘subset of powers’-based approach to realization. These include that satisfaction of the conditions in the schema is compatible with anti-realism about, reductionism about, or physical unacceptability of the emergent entities or features, or is not necessary for physically acceptable emergence. Each challenge admits of one or more responses available on any sensible implementation of the schema for Weak emergence; certain additional responses draw on features of Wilson’s preferred accounts of Weak emergence, appealing to the determinable/determinate relation or to an elimination of degrees of freedom.
