This article pursues a Whiteheadian association of meals and cooking with an orienting concern for ecological well-being and planetary health. Process thought helps those who eat to recognize the real influences that our meals have upon the emerging world.

This article provides a novel inroad to the field of process philosophy and its application. It does this by elucidating the relationship between two modes of thought—static and process thinking—as a key to cocreating ecological civilization. Static and process modes of thought are conceptualized in terms of five “basic orientations”: abstract and context, closed and open, isolating and relational, passive and generative, one-dimensional and multidimensional. Inspired by the work of Alfred North Whitehead, Arran Gare, and Julie Nelson, these dynamic dualisms are resolved by nesting static perspectives within process-relational contexts. This article argues that “hegemonic static thinking” is guiding decision-making at root of global crises. While also avoiding “dualistic process thinking,” “encompassing process thinking” that includes and transcends static thinking is posited as a mode of thought conducive to more ecological and community-oriented decision-making across multiple scales. This article establishes the philosophical consistency of this nested “static-process framework,” using it to show how process metaphysics underpins interlinking shifts in worldviews, politics, and economics for moving from industrial to ecological civilization.
本文为过程哲学及其应用领域提供了一条新的途径。通过阐述两种思维模式——静态思维和过程思维——的关系,作为共同创造生态文明的关键。静态思维方式和过程思维方式被概念化为五个“基本取向”:抽象与语境、封闭与开放、孤立与关联、被动与生成、一维与多维。受Alfred North Whitehead、Arran Gare和Julie Nelson工作的启发,这些动态二元论是通过在流程关系上下文中嵌套静态透视来解决的。本文认为,“霸权静态思维”是导致全球危机的根本原因。在避免“二元过程思维”的同时,包含并超越静态思维的“包容过程思维”被认为是一种有助于在多个尺度上做出更生态和面向社区的决策的思维模式。本文建立了这个嵌套的“静态过程框架”的哲学一致性,用它来展示过程形而上学如何支持世界观、政治和经济从工业文明向生态文明的转变。

In this article, it is claimed that the current climate emergency requires that we take seriously a “haptic” approach to nature as found in Alfred North Whitehead and the romantic poets (especially William Blake and William Wordsworth) in contrast to the “optic” approach that has dominated modern thinking.

K. Robinson
In this article, I want to put Whitehead to work in the context of the discourse of sustainable development. My argument will be that Whitehead offers a way of thinking about and doing metaphysics that challenges the logic of anthropocentrism that drives much of the thinking around sustainable development. First, I will introduce the idea of sustainable development and give a brief history. Second, I will give an archaeology of sustainable development by exploring one of its fault lines: the divide that separates the anthropocentric from the nonanthropocentric, the human from the nonhuman. I will give examples of each approach and argue that Whitehead provides a metaphysics that attempts to overcome the “bifurcation of nature” and gives us a nonanthropocentric opening onto the ethical that promises new ways to think and practice sustainable development.

This article examines the thought of the nineteenth-century French thinker Jules Lequyer, who influenced Charles Renouvier, William James, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Charles Hartshorne, who never ceased to promote Lequyer's importance, refers to the Frenchman in all but five of his twenty-one books. Lequyer is especially noteworthy because of his philosophical defense of human freedom against any sort of determinism.
