In "A Sketch of the Past," Virginia Woolf introduces her personal philosophy, her own ontology, based on the idea that all human and nonhuman beings are interconnected in a single work of art. This idea is foregrounded in her novels The Waves, Between the Acts, and the pacifist manifesto Three Guineas, where Woolf fully develops her "ontoethics," which consists in ontological interconnection of human beings and recognition of value of every human and nonhuman being. This article discusses this universal relationality via Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy of organism, which emphasizes the interrelatedness of all constituents of reality and solidarity that springs from this ontological bond.
在《过去的素描》(A Sketch of the Past)一书中,弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫(Virginia Woolf)介绍了她的个人哲学,她自己的本体论,基于所有人类和非人类都在一件艺术作品中相互联系的观点。这一思想在她的小说《海浪》、《行为之间》和和平主义宣言《三个基尼》中得到了突出体现。在《三个基尼》中,伍尔夫充分发展了她的“本体伦理学”,即人类的本体论联系以及对每个人类和非人类的价值的认识。本文通过阿尔弗雷德·诺斯·怀特黑德的有机体哲学来讨论这种普遍的关系,该哲学强调现实的所有组成部分的相互关系以及源于这种本体论纽带的团结。

This short article discusses the Chinese concept of harmonism as developed in a book by Zhihe Wang titled Process and Pluralism: Chinese Thought on the Harmony of Diversity. This book develops themes in Whitehead's philosophy as they illuminate the concept of harmonism and constructive postmodernism.

Prey-catching behavior (PCB) in frogs and toads has been the focus of intense neuroethological research from the mid-twentieth century to the present and epitomizes some major themes in science and philosophy during this period. It reflects the movement from simple reflexology to more complex views of instinctive behavior, but it also displays a neural reductionism that denies subjectivity and individual agency. The present article engages contemporary PCB research but provides a philosophically more promising picture of it based on Whitehead’s nonreductionist “philosophy of organism,” which proposes that the flow of events from stimulus to response in organisms of all kinds is mediated by “the intervening touch of mentality.” This approach resolves some basic mind-body and mind-nature issues that have long bedeviled modern philosophy and presents an image of a postmodern frog for a constructively postmodern science.

The Extensive Continuum is most often seen as an empty form that awaits the accommodation of actuality. Contrary to this popular interpretation, I argue that extension is completely immanent to actual occasions and their prehensive relations. Whitehead's doctrine of internal relations entails that extension cannot be separated from actual occasions, just as actual occasions cannot be separated from extension. To prehend is to extend. Furthermore, any strict separation of form and actuality is shown to bifurcate nature into publicity and privacy. Only with the immanence of extension is nature truly one.

In this article, a proposal for Christian theology is constructed in relation to racial injustice. This proposal involves “strategic essentialism,” which is informed by feminist theory. This proposal will be explored in light of the views of John Cobb and James Cone.
