Reviews
'Review from previous edition Endorsement: Philip Clayton provides here a carefully considered and closely argued defence of the idea of strong emergence in relation to both the natural sciences and the human mind. The erudite argument is well-grounded in the relevant literature and solidlyrelated to the evolutionary process whereby complexity has come into being. The book will be an indispensable reading for those concerned with the 'big questions' related to the human mind, such as issues of agency and freedom.'George Ellis, University of Cape Town, 'Review from previous edition Endorsement: Philip Clayton provides here a carefully considered and closely argued defence of the idea of strong emergence in relation to both the natural sciences and the human mind.

Synopsis
Is it true that the universe evolves through an ever-expanding series of levels from quantum states to consciousness? Philip Clayton introduces the non-expert to emergence theory, one of the most revolutionary claims to be made about the natural world in recent years, and its significance for religion. Emergence is based on the recognition that the world continually produces new patterns, new structures, and new types of causal forces. Clayton discusses whether atranscendent force is luring the natural world toward higher forms of existence, or whether basic forces in the natural world are producing ever more complex phenomena, including the life of the mindand the ideas of spirit and of God (immanent emergence). He then offers a reformulation of Christian theology that brings it more in line with the new emergence-based understanding of the natural world., Strong claims have been made for emergence as a new paradigm for understanding science, consciousness, and religion. Tracing the past history and current definitions of the concept, Clayton assesses the case for emergent phenomena in the natural world and their significance for philosophy and theology. Complex emergent phenomena require irreducible levels of explanation in physics, chemistry and biology. This pattern of emergence suggests a new approach to the problem of consciousness, which is neither reducible to brain states nor proof of a mental substance or soul. Although emergence does not entail classical theism, it is compatible with a variety of religious positions. Clayton concludes with a defence of emergentist panentheism and a Christian constructive theology consistent with the new sciences of emergence., Strong claims have been made for emergence as a new paradigm for understanding science, consciousness, and religion.
