ellauri042.html on line 885: Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, or in full Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, and severall steps in my Sicknes, is a prose work by the English metaphysical poet and cleric in the Church of England John Donne (22 January 1572 - 31 March 1631) , published in 1624. It covers death, rebirth and the Elizabethan concept of sickness as a French visit from God, reflecting internal sinfulness. The Devotions were written in December 1623 as Donne recovered from a serious but unknown illness – believed to be relapsing fever or typhus. Having come close to death, he described the illness he had suffered from and his thoughts throughout his recovery with "near super-human speed and concentration". Registered by 9 January, and published soon after, the Devotions is one of only seven works attributed to Donne which were printed during his lifetime.

At length, Donne acceded to the king's wishes, and in 1615 was ordained priest in the Church of England. In late November and early December 1623 he suffered a nearly fatal illness, thought to be either typhus or a combination of a cold followed by a period of fever. During his convalescence he wrote a series of meditations and prayers on health, pain, and sickness that were published as a book in 1624 under the title of Devotions upon Emergent Occasions. One of these meditations, Meditation XVII, contains the well known phrases "No man is an Iland" (often modernised as "No man is an island") and "...for whom the bell tolls".

Emergentti materialismi voidaan jakaa kahtia näkemykseen, joka kieltää mentaalisen kausaation, sekä näkemykseen, joka sallii kausaaliset vaikutukset. Jälkimmäistä näkemystä, josta on käytetty myös nimitystä biologinen naturalismi, on kannattanut muun muassa John Searle. Suomessa emergenttia materialismia on kannattanut muun muassa Ilkka Niiniluoto (1990).
ellauri433.html on line 149: Myöhemmin Donald Davidson on kannattanut mielen ja ruumiin ongelman suhteen niin kutsuttua anomaalista monismia, joka on sukua aiemmille neutraalin monismin teorioille, mutta ei kokonaan yhtenevä. Emergentti materialismi on toinen ontologisen monismin muoto, joka hyväksyy sekä mielen että aineen olemassaolon. Juu nää on kyllä kaikki samaa talousliberaalia rupusakkia.
