Alexander Haitos (EDT), Helmut Maassen (EDT) Variations on Process Metaphysics

Annotation

This book collects several essays on diverse aspects of Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy. Ranging from comparative and historical studies to explorations of contemporary influence to possibilities for transforming future inquiry, the topics covered here first and foremost point to the relevance of Whitehead's philosophy for our time. From this core, the essays in this volume highlight a range of issues to which process philosophy speaks profitably. These include philosophical questions surrounding motion, the notion of life, and aesthetics, as well as the conjunction of process philosophy with political science and with neuroscience.
