Reviews

Mariusz Tabaczek brings together in a single, coherent narrative work that others have not integrated before--namely, both philosophical and scientific work on emergence causal powers, and the renaissance of Aristotelianism. Tabaczek offers new and powerful criticisms of emergentism from an ontological perspective. He provides a fair and judicious appraisal of recent work on causal powers and hylomorphism, from a Thomistic viewpoint. Such a critique is timely and important. The scholarship is excellent. --Robert Koons, University of Texas at Austin The book presents in a very detailed narrative the current status quaestionis of theories of powers metaphysics as well as emergence and downward causation, and is extremely valuable and informative, proposing a move forward in the contemporary metaphysical discussion. The scholarship is superb, and the arguments and ideas presented in it could lead to new developments in the future by many a scholar interested in an Aristotelian interpretation of powers ontology. --Ignacio Silva, Philosophy Institute, Austral University, Argentina
