Alexander, Samuel
(1859-1938) philosopher professor at Manchester; Realist metaphysics ; wrote Space, Time, and Deity; holds a theory of the mind called emergentism ; mind evolves
from matter and life; evolution produces genuine novelties not reducible to the elements of lower levels; each emergent has 1. a structure differing from the structure of its constituents and 2. a function peculiar to its level; the tendency toward emergence is identified as a nisus (striving) (see Bergson 's élan vital); there is a continuous interaction and interdependence of all the levels, as,
e.g., of brain (life) and mind (interactionism ).

A man whose father, Simon the Cyrenian, bore the cross of Christ (Mark 15:21). (3.) A Jew of Ephesus who took a prominent part in the uproar raised there by the preaching of Paul (Acts 19:33).

It is possible that this man was the same as the following. (4.) A coppersmith who, with Hymenaeus and others, promulgated certain heresies regarding the resurrection (1 Tim. 1:19; 2 Tim. 4:14), and made shipwreck of faith and of a good conscience.
