Emergence is described in the text as self-organization ideas. The main quality of emergence is its flexibility or how it can adjusts to a change in the environment. Emergence is a quality that is found in a network of simple components that dynamically connects to each other depending on the situation. Emergence is different from classical cognition as it is not govern by symbols. However the author of this book remark that when emergence appear in an organisms it will form a pattern that will be the same if it is in the same situation witch can become a symbol.
One of the issues of western philosophy is how to represent the world in witch we live. It is believe that the world has pregiven features witch are unquestionable. The author of the book found that this perspective is a way to hide from the question as it implies that the only way to ground the world is that it either has an absolute foundation or is chaos. They instead propose a middle way solution base from the Buddhism perspective. They suggest that like the search of the self, the answer to the representation of the world lies in groundlessness.
How would emergence relate to the notion of groundlessness of the world?
