Description
[Conf.] Reduction and emergence play a central role in the relations of scientific theories and disciplines. Unfortunately, the discussion about reduction and emergence suffers from two uncertainties at once. On the one hand the concepts of reduction and especially emergence are not precisely defined, on the other hand there are few if any uncontentious cases of reduction or emergence in the sciences. This conference will bring together philosophers of science and scientists of different disciplines with the aim of addressing the inter- and intratheoretic relations of specific theories and providing precise notions of such relations for the application in the sciences. These relations can then serve as a basis for explications of reduction and emergence that are applicable in the sciences. | Center for Advanced Studies & Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy: 14.-16.11.2013
