One of the challenges present in debates within the philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics is clarifying the notion of emergence. Emergence can be understood in different senses. The most common and least controversial sense refers to emergence as the unpredictability of the appearance of aspects of a system based on knowledge of its initial configuration and the principles governing the interaction of its components. In a second, more controversial sense, emergence refers to the appearance of a new entity in ontology that cannot be reduced to other pre-existing elements. In this text, I invoke the notion of constitution proposed by Lynne Rudder Baker as a metaphysical approach capable of accommodating this more ontological notion of emergence.
