It has become clear that the term is used in different ways by different authors, with important implications.

Although all three criteria have their place, I suggest that the category of radical emergence is important both for science and theology. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Zygon: Journal of Religion & Science is the property of Open Library of Humanities and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
