The British Journal of Aesthetics, 1998
Cope’s Computers and Musical Style (1991) describes a computer program that allegedly can represent and replicate musical styles solely on the basis of compositions that have been entered into it. If this claim is correct, then it must be that an oeuvre’s stylistic characteristics locally supervene on its textual features, which roughly means that its ...

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, 1988
Supervenience is often employed to indicate how one type of phenomenon is dependent upon or determined by another. This chapter considers various forms of supervenience and attempts to show that this notion, even when taken in its strongest form, falls short of expressing a relation of genuine dependency.

Synthese, 1998
Discussion of the supervenience relation in the philosophical literature of recent years has become Byzantine in its intricacy and diversity. Subtle modulations of the basic concept have been tooled and retooled with increasing frequency, until supervenience has lost nearly all its original lustre as a simple and powerful tool for cracking open ...

Supervenience and neuroscience
Synthese, 2010The philosophical technical term “supervenience” is frequently used in the philosophy of mind as a concise way of characterizing the core idea of physicalism in a manner that is neutral with respect to debates between reductive physicalists and nonreductive physicalists. I argue against this alleged neutrality and side with reductive physicalists. I am

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 1984
We think of the world around us not as a mere assemblage of unrelated objects, events, and facts, but as constituting a system, something that shows structure, and whose constituents are connected with one another in significant ways. This view of the world seems fundamental to our scheme of things; it is reflected in the commonplace assumption that ...

Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume, 1984
Abstract My own first use of the word, so far as I can determine, was in a paper, never published, which I read to the Oxford Philosophical Society in 1950. This was in the course of an attempt to find clear logical criteria for distinguishing between evaluative and purely descriptive words.

Supervenience is a concept developed by philosophers to capture a way in which certain facts, events or properties rely or depend on others in a noncausal way. It is one way to capture the notion that certain phenomena seem to emerge from, or are determined by, others. Consider an example. The movement of one snooker ball depends on the way it

Supervenience is one of the 'hot discoveries' of analytic philosophy, and this collection of essays on the topic represents an examination of it and its application to major areas of philosophy. The interest in supervenience has much to do with the flexibility of the concept.
