Redescription, reduction, and emergence: a response to Tobias Hansson Wahlberg

In response to Hansson Wahlberg (2013), this paper argues, first, that he misunderstands the redescription principle developed in my book The Causal Power of Social Structures, and second, that his criticisms rest on an ontological individualism that is taken for granted but in fact lacks an adequate ontological justification of its own.
