ABSTRACT
This article features an appreciative and critical assessment of Lynne Baker’s account of constitution. I agree with Baker that constitution is not identity and I propose a token multiple realizability argument for this conclusion. I argue for an account that features a closer relation between the microphysical and higher levels than the one that Baker endorses, in particular in the case of higher-level causation. Although Baker maintains that higher-level properties are emergent, and I oppose this claim, I contend that the considerations to which she appeals do not establish that her view is committed to emergence in the controversial sense.
