How can our own lives emerge from interactions of electrons, protons, and neutrons? This book considers the interaction of physical and non-physical causation in complex systems such as living beings, and in particular in the human brain, relating this to the emergence of higher levels of complexity with real causal powers. In particular it explores the idea of top-down causation, which is the key effect allowing the emergence of true complexity and also enables the causal efficacy of non-physical entities, including the value of money, social conventions, and ethical choices.. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Adaptive Systems; Biological Information; Emergent Complexity; Human Brain; Top-Down Causation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-49809-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-662-57036-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-49809-5Series ISSN 1612-3018 Series E-ISSN 2197-6619 | issn_series | 1612-3018 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2016 |
