• @article{Wahlberg2014-WAHCRS,abstract = {In Elder-Vass's response to my critical discussion of his social ontology, it is maintained (1) that a social object is not identical with but is merely composed of its suitably interrelated parts, (2) that a social object is necessarily indistinguishable in terms of its causal capacities from its interrelated parts, and (3) that ontological individualism lacks an adequate ontological justification. In this reply, I argue that in view of (1) the so-called redescription principle defended by Elder-Vass ought to be reformulated and renamed; that the conjunction of (1) and (2) renders social objects causally redundant; and that ontological individualism can be coherently formulated and theoretically justified within Elder-Vass's own metaphysics of objects with causal powers},year = {2014},number = {6},title = {Causally Redundant Social Objects Rejoinder to Elder-Vass},author = {Tobias Hansson Wahlberg},pages = {798--809},volume = {44},journal = {Philosophy of the Social Sciences}}@
