Re: Back to reemergence
I doubt "emergence" is existant. It is an emergency default for those anti-apriorists who think that it was always too late for the NYTIMES to capitlaize the "N"word. While it might be biologically argued that race growth is a social fiction, I tend to reason to biogeography rather than new levels of organization ornamentally because of a lost discussion of the body. Feelings of surpassing Lysenkoism/Larmakianism does not keep hierarchy out of biology necessarily. Emergence simply and easily (too easily I feel) justifies the rear offensive guard of an otherwise WEB DuBois dubius ontology. Sure, there is no purpose to natural selection but as Faith said...
