Yes I DO mean bedeau and Humphreys.
that is the second time I have made that mistake. I dont know who the hell
Phillips is and why he has such a firm grip on my E-magination.
Oh, yes. You dissolved the problem entirely. there were just a few ....
teensy little details I thought we might tidy up by reading the book.

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.
