This paper offers a practical argument for metaphysical emergence. The main message is that the growing reliance on so-called irrational scientific methods provides evidence that objects of science are indecomposable and as such, are better described by metaphysical emergence as opposed to the prevalent reductionistic metaphysics. I show that a potential counterargument that science will eventually reduce everything to physics has little weight given where science is heading with its current methodological trend. I substantiate my arguments by detailed examples from biological engineering, but the conclusions are extendable beyond that discipline.

不合理的方法表明不可分解性和涌现性
本文为形而上学的出现提供了一个实用的论据。主要信息是,对所谓的非理性科学方法的日益依赖提供了科学对象不可分解的证据,因此,与流行的还原论形而上学相反,形而上学的出现更好地描述了这一点。我展示了一种潜在的反驳论点,即科学最终会将一切归结为物理学,因为科学正朝着其当前的方法论趋势前进。我通过生物工程的详细例子来证实我的论点,但结论可以扩展到该学科之外。
