The subject of the author’s particular interest is the analysis of the main methodological assumptions of neutral monism, which are presented as a method of deriving logical constructions. The article discusses problems inspired by the following questions: What is the declared neutrality of base objects? Is neutral monism a kind of reductionism? Is it an ontological or logical‑epistemological position? What is the place of phenomenal consciousness in the universe of neutral monism? Can neutral monism be reconciled with different versions of emergence theory? Does neutral monism solve the mind‑body problem? Finally, the possibility of non‑standard interpretation of neutral monism is outlined by reference to information theory.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Neutral monism and theories of reduction and emergence}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/129819/2022-04-PFIL-23.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2022.143869}, keywords={emergence, logical constructions, matter, mind, neutral monism, reduction, B.
