Abstract
Since the 1990s, the concept of emergence has been prominent in many debates in philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and philosophy of science. Emergent phenomena are usually defined as entities that partially depend on lower-level goings-on while manifesting a certain autonomy and exhibiting some form of novelty. The general agreement on these features, however, goes hand in hand with an equally general disagreement on their precise meaning. The purpose of this contribution is therefore to introduce the debate on emergence by examining the criteria for describing fit and the various forms it seems to assume when analyzed from different perspectives or in different contexts.
