Charles Hartshorne's considerable writings have been influential in
contem 1 porary religious and philosophical thought. Not only is he
regarded as the leading living representative of process thought as
well as a much respected interpreter of Whitehead, but he has also
established himself as an original 2 and creative thinker in his
own right. The literature on his philosophy has been rapidly
increasing. His thought and influence have also been the subject 3
of a number of conferences and gatherings of scholars. One of
Hartshorne's most notable contributions to contemporary philoso 4
phy and theology is his concept of God. In his writings he has set
out "to formulate the idea of deity so as to preserve, perhaps
increase, its religious value, while yet avoiding the
contradictions which seem inseparable from the 5 idea as
customarily defined." The result of his efforts has been the
develop ment of the concept of a "dipolar God" (insofar as
contrasting metaphysical predicates, e.g. relative/absolute,
contingent/necessary, finite/infinite and so on, are affirmed as
applicable to God although always in an eminent way). Inasmuch as
he has elaborated this concept in close dialogue with classical
theism, he also refers to it as "neo-classical." Because of the
emphasis he places on the reality of change and becoming in his
metaphysics (which regards God as the chief exemplification of
metaphysical principles), the term 6 "process" has likewise been
used to describe his notion of God."
