Sartenaer, Olivier
[UCL]
Starting with the observation that there exist contradictory claims in the literature about the relationship between vitalism and emergentism – be it one of inclusion or, on the contrary, exclusion –, this paper aims at disentangling the vitalism–emergentism knot. To this purpose, after having described a particular form of emergentism, namely Lloyd Morgan’s emergent evolutionism, I develop a conceptual analysis on the basis of a distinction between varieties of monism and pluralism. This analysis allows me to identify and characterize several forms of vitalism and emergentism, and a subsequent comparison between these forms constitutes the occasion for a clarification of the relationship between both doctrines.
