Abstract
This is a response to Cristián Navarrete and Tom Fryer's recent paper on contextual emergence and critical realism. Their paper raises some stimulating challenges to critical realist accounts of emergence, but I argue that it does not establish that critical realist accounts of emergence are flawed, nor that the contextual emergence tradition has significant improvements to offer.
期刊介绍:
The Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour publishes original theoretical and methodological articles that examine the links between social structures and human agency embedded in behavioural practices. The Journal is truly unique in focusing first and foremost on social behaviour, over and above any disciplinary or local framing of such behaviour. In so doing, it embraces a range of theoretical orientations and, by requiring authors to write for a wide audience, the Journal is distinctively interdisciplinary and accessible to readers world-wide in the fields of psychology, sociology and philosophy.
