In Whitehead's Radically Temporalist Metaphysics: Recovering the
Seriousness of Time, George Allan argues that Whitehead's
introduction of God into his process metaphysics renders his
metaphysics incoherent. This notion of God, who is the reason for
both stability and progressive change in the world and who is both
the infinite source of novel possibilities and the everlasting
repository for the finite values, inserts into a reality that is
supposedly composed solely of finite entities an entity both
infinite and everlasting. By eliminating this notion of God, Allan
draws on the temporalist foundation of Whitehead's views to recover
a metaphysics that takes time seriously. By turning to Whitehead's
later writings, Allan shows how this interpretation is developed
into an expanded version of the radically temporalist hypothesis,
emphasizing the power of finite entities, individually and
collectively, to create, sustain, and enhance the dynamic world of
which we are a creative part.
