Abstract:
We address the concept of emergence, examining its historical roots and use in the field. We examine the ontological underpinnings of one way emergence is discussed, which we call objective-emergence and define as the existence of a higher- level entity which cannot be reduced to its parts. We note that objective-emergence is not scientifically feasible and may inhibit theoretical and empirical work. We describe research contexts and language that may accidentally foster the use of objective-emergence.
