@neuro_biologia I haven't kept up with the philsci literature on this since finishing my undergrad, which was a few years ago, but I think new mechanists like to cash out interlevel interactions in terms of constitutive explanations, not causal ones. https
@PsychScientists @mljanderson @EricLeonardis @NoahGuzman14 This is the flagship argument (and the paper that made me change research directions): "Top-down causation without top-down causes" https://t.co/VaPHRm2IaS
@PsychScientists @mljanderson @EricLeonardis @NoahGuzman14 They've rejected that option explicitly, in "Top-down causation without top-down cause" https://t.co/VaPHRm2IaS
