  • Emergent Evolution

    Qualitative Novelty and the Levels of Reality

    by David Blitz ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Emergent evolution combines three separate but related claims, whose background, origin, and development I trace in this work: firstly, that evolution is a universal process of change, one which is productive of qualitative novelties; secondly, that qualitative novelty is the emergence in a system of a property not possessed by any of its parts; and thirdly, that reality can be analyzed into ...

  • Testament of Nicolas Flamel.

    by Nicolas Flamel ...
    This text is probably a late invention but it is nevertheless interesting for that. I cannot locate a manuscript of the 'Testament', though it was mentioned in Borel's bibliography of alchemy. It was probably written in France in the late 18th century, during the revival of interest in Flamel. It protests too much its authenticity, and gives an unlikely story about how it survived from Flamel's ... Read more
