Emergent Freedom
Naturalizing Free Will
by James W Haag, foreword by Terrence Deacon
Emergentism, as a metaphysical option between Reductive Physicalism and Substance Dualism, provides a space for free will to be both experientially balanced and evidentially accurate. By expanding notions of causation and adopting a process ontology, Emergentism revaluates age-old commitments to human free will. With Emergentism, James W. Haag believes Philip Hefner’s model of human being (the created co-creator) to be a valuable place to look for dialogue. Hefner’s claim that the created co-creator is simultaneously constrained and free fits securely with Dynamic Theological Naturalism and its acceptance of Emergentism.
