Creative Experiencing - A Philosophy of Freedom (Paperback)

Charles Hartshorne, one of the premier metaphysicians of the twentieth century, surmised that "Creative Experiencing: A Philosophy of Freedom" made his contribution to technical philosophy essentially complete. Found among his papers, this book combines five chapters published here for the first time with revisions and expansions of previously published material. Hartshorne articulates and defends his neoclassical metaphysics as an enterprise related to but independent of empirical science, addressing a variety of topics, including the problem of other minds (including nonhuman ones), the competencies of science, the nature of God, the meaning of modal terms, the ontological status of universals, and the metaphysical grounding of political freedom. While Hartshorne is widely known as a process philosopher, "Creative Experiencing" also shows him in dialogue with the wider currents of both analytic philosophy and phenomenology. The book includes his clearest account of his appropriation of phenomenology, the most succinct presentation of his analysis of time s asymmetry and its relation to causality, and his fullest statement concerning the meaning of future tense statements."
