Summary
Woodward, who has for several decades been a leader in the philosophical analysis of causal processes, takes us on a detailed and somewhat demanding tour – a philosophical analysis of “levels talk.” While several other essays in this volume explore the implications of multilevel approaches to issues psychiatric, in this essay Woodward leads us into the philosophical/conceptual nitty-gritty of multilevel processes, with a focus on the problem of top-down causation.
