Pierre Teilhard de Chardin has made much of this in his widely read The Phenomenon of Man, but long before the publication of that volume C. Lloyd - Morgan in his Gifford lectures had indicated the significance of such «emergents», along with the «importance» (although this is not his, but Whitehead's, word) which they possess both in the ongoing movement of the world and as a way of our grasping of the meaning of that world in its on going movement.
