Do you mean Bedau and
Humphreys? Also, I hope you read my paper, "
The reductionist blind spot." As I said I've solved the problem of emergence. It's no longer the mystery Bedau and Humphreys make it out to be. Consequently the papers in their book are fairly obsolete. Of course you will make up your own minds about that. But at least give yourself the chance to reach that conclusion.

I hoped to start a discussion group on emergence this fall. Michel Bloch is in town for the next three weeks and wants to join it, so I am moved to start earlier than I might otherwise. I suggest thursday afternoon at 4pm at Downtown Subscription. Our text is Bedau and Phillips, EMERGENCE. Alicia Juarrero also has a collection of readings we might get into later. At least three of us already have cc of the book, so if others are curious and want to flip through it, they should join us.
I just pulled the time and day out of my .... hat, so feel free to renegotiate it. I dont want to lose anybody just because of a time problem.
