Processes constitute the world of human experience - from nature to
cognition to social reality. Yet our philosophical and scientific
theories of nature and experience have traditionally prioritized
concepts for static objects and structures. The essays collected
here call for a review of the role of dynamic categories in the
language of theories. They present old and new descriptive tools
for the modelling of dynamic domains, and argue for the merits of
process-based explanations in ontology, cognitive science,
semiotics, linguistics, philosophy of mind, robotics, theoretical
biology, music theory, and philosophy of chemistry and physics. The
collection is of interest to professional researchers in any of
these fields; it establishes - for the very first time -
crossdisciplinary contact among recent process-based research
movements and might witness a conceptual paradigm shift in the
making.
