Functional reduction and emergence in the physical sciences
pp. 335-346
in: Max Kistler (ed), New perspective on reduction and emergence in physics, biology and psychology, Synthese 151 (3), 2006.Abstract
Kim’s model of ‘functional reduction’ of properties is shown to fail in a class of cases from physics involving properties at different spatial levels. The diagnosis of this failure leads to a non-reductive account of the relation of micro and macro properties.
