Reed A. Guy is a contemporary philosopher working at the intersection of philosophy of religion and philosophy of science. His work engages questions of emergence, causation, and divine action, particularly whether theistic accounts of creation require ongoing interventionist causation to explain the appearance of genuinely novel properties or entities in nature.
Argued that divine creative intervention need not be causally necessary for the nonconservative emergence of new material properties
Contributed to debates on emergence and theism in contemporary philosophy of religion
Engaged with the relationship between naturalistic explanations and theological accounts of novelty in nature
