"Gerald Vision brings to Re-Emergence an impressive mastery of the issues and aspirations that have been driving the continuing surge of interest in emergence, an idea that refuses to go away. Recent debates, however, are more notable for disunity, fragmentation, and a lack of direction than solid advances. This clear-headed, well-argued book is a timely and most welcome contribution to the field. It offers a strong and serious defense of the emergentist approach to consciousness; more, it provides a coherent and unified framework for the emergence debates yet to come."--Jaegwon Kim, Brown University -- Jaegwon Kim "Emergentism has been sitting in the background, often scoffed at for its incompleteness or mysticism, but as other approaches are failing to have explanatory power, it is gradually creeping into the mainstream. Vision's timely book offers an extensive treatment of the issue that casts it in light of the central debates in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of cognitive science. It is a significant contribution to the field."--Anthony F. Beavers, Professor of Philosophy and Director of Cognitive Science, University of Evansville -- Anthony Beavers
