This book newly articulates the international and interdisciplinary
reach of Whitehead's organic process cosmology for a variety of
topics across science and philosophy, and in dialogue with a
variety historical and contemporary voices. Integrating Whitehead's
thought with the insights of Bergson, James, Pierce, Merleau-Ponty,
Descola, Fuchs, Hofmann, Grof and many others, contributors from
around the world reveal the relevance of process philosophy to
physics, cosmology, astrobiology, ecology, metaphysics, aesthetics,
psychedelics, and religion. A global collection, this book
expresses multivocal possibilities for the development of process
cosmology after Whitehead.

As with any rich philosophical tradition in a period of intensive
growth, process philosophy may seem confusing to the uninitiated,
or even to the initiated. There is simply so much going on that one
may, so to speak, lose the forest for the trees. The purpose of
this book is to organize and arrange selected examples of
contemporary work in process philosophy, with opening commentaries
by leading Whiteheadian scholars, to give the reader a taste of the
global vision of process currently expressed within this field of
philosophy. This book is split into two parts: the first discussing
the historical roots of and future perspectives for basic concepts
of process thinking, and the second presenting original
contemporary work in extending and re-interpreting the basic
metaphysical structure of process.
