1. Introduction (Jan Voosholz and Markus Gabriel) -- 2. Physical, Logical, and Mental Top-Down Effects (George Ellis and Markus Gabriel) -- 3. Strong Emergence in Condensed Matter Physics (Barbara Drossel) -- 4. The Reluctant Reductionist: On the Topic of Emergence from an Effective Field Theory Perspective (Thomas Luu and Ulf-G. Meißner) -- 5. On the Notion of High-Level Causation (Simon Friederich and Sach Mukherjee) -- 6. Biological Relativity: Developments and Concepts a Decade on (Denis Noble) -- 7. Extended Evolution Theory and the Causal Structure of Evolutionary Theory (Manfred Laubichler) -- 8. Intrinsic Actions of a Macro Agent (Larissa Albantakis and Giulio Tononi) -- 9. Universality and Top-Down Causation in Physics and Biology (Sara Green) -- 10. Mathematics and Top-Down Causation (Otávio Bueno) -- 11. Downward Causation Defended (James Woodward) -- 12. Models of Downward Causation (Maximilian Kistler) -- 13. Models of Downward Causation and their Invisibility (Sophie Gibb). 14. TBA (Terrence Deacon) -- 15. Top-Down Causation without Levels (Jan Voosholz) -- 16. A Pragmatist Perspective on Causation, Laws and Explanation (Richard Healey) -- 17. Response (George Ellis).

This book presents the latest research, conducted by leading philosophers and scientists from various fields, on the topic of top-down causation. The chapters combine to form a unique, interdisciplinary perspective, drawing upon George Ellis's extensive research and novel perspectives on topics including downwards causation, weak and strong emergence, mental causation, biological relativity, effective field theory and levels in nature. The collection also serves as a Festschrift in honour of George Ellis' 80th birthday. The extensive and interdisciplinary scope of this book makes it vital reading for anyone interested in the work of George Ellis and current research on the topics of causation and emergence.
