Produktinformationen zu „How Can Physics Underlie the Mind? / The Frontiers Collection (PDF)“

Physics underlies all complexity, including our own existence: how is this possible? How can our own lives emerge from interactions of electrons, protons, and neutrons? This book considers the interaction of physical and non-physical causation in complex systems such as living beings, and in particular in the human brain, relating this 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 key effect allowing the emergence of true complexity and also enables the causal efficacy of non-physical entities, including the value of money, social conventions, and ethical choices.

Pressezitat

“Ellis (emer., Univ. of Cape Town, South Africa), a world-renowned expert in theoretical physics, presents an impressive and persuasive set of arguments for top-down causation and a non-reductive ontology, which he bases on a broad array of recent research results. … Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; professionals.” (T. Eastman, Choice, Vol. 54 (5), January, 2017)

“In this magnum opus … George Ellis lays out the case for top-down causation from an emergentist perspective. … This book is an indispensable resource for anyone who seriously ponders the structure of the universe, the miracle of life, and the mystery of consciousness.” (Randy Isaac, Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith, Vol. 69 (2), 2017)
