| Summary: | Several contributors to the collected volume, Interactive World, Interactive God, by Carol Albright, et al., examine emergence as a type of interaction from scientific and theological perspectives. In reviewing, two extensions are proposed. Systems theory can organize those investigations, and the phenomena they study, into a multilevel architecture built upon distinctions between weak emergence (as explaining and constraining) and strong emergence (as introducing new types of causation). Pragmatic philosophy (and semiotics) can further nuance the investigation of the human mind into behaviors, language, and abstract ideas to clarify characterizations of self and soul with respect to symbolic language and spirituality. |
