Description
I discuss the general (formal and conceptual) steps that should be climbed for showing the emergence of space and time from non-spatiotemporal quantum structures. I illustrate an example of such emergence in the context of the tensorial group field theory formalism for quantum gravity, leading to an effective cosmological dynamics. Finally, I emphasize a number of conceptual/philosophical issues that are implied in such emergent spacetime programme and some lessons that we can learn from the known examples of it.
