Jessica Wilson is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on general metaphysics, metaphysics of science and mind, and philosophical methodology. In 2014, Wilson was co-recipient of the Lebowitz Prize for Philosophical Achievement and Contribution.
[...] this book is a staggeringly impressive work of a philosopher at the very top of her game. Its main significance will be in providing an authoritative and comprehensive conceptual framework for metaphysical emergence that should be used to formulate claims of emergence across science and philosophy going forward. * Alyssa Ney, Notre Dame Philosophical Review * All in all, Metaphysical Emergence is a very complete treatment of pretty much everything that has to do with emergence. Wilson exhibits exemplary scholarship in engaging with a very large corpus of literature. We have a lot to learn from Wilson, and a close reading of this book will no doubt be rewarding to anyone working not only in metaphysics of emergence, but also in metaphysics more generally. * Umut Baysan, The Philosophical Quarterly *
