Emergentism is an idea that says our thoughts and feelings come from complicated interactions within physical systems.

Think of it like this: wetness comes from water, but you won't find "wetness" in just one water molecule.

Here are some important points:

• Our thoughts and feelings aren’t just simple reactions in the brain.
• They develop from more complex interactions.
• This helps us think more deeply about how consciousness works.

So, emergentism gives us a fascinating, though not full, view of how our mind and body are connected.
