Complexity, Simplicity and Emergence: Metaphysics & Downward Causation | Fr. Mariusz Tabaczek, O.P.
Fr. Mariusz Tabaczek, O.P., a Polish Dominican theologian and Thomistic metaphysics expert, explores emergence, complexity, and downward causation. He surveys definitions across sciences, contrasts reductionism with ontological emergence, and reinterprets downward causation through Aristotelian causes and form. The conversation ranges from formal cause and powers to teleology, chance, and how higher-level realities relate to physical foundations.
