Episode notes
Process Thought Responds To Modern Crises
- Whitehead's process philosophy responds to scientific and ecological crises by privileging becoming over static being.
- Andrew Davis argues this makes Whitehead especially relevant for rethinking metaphysical foundations today.
Contemplation Informs Metaphysics
- Whitehead derived his metaphysics in part from years of meditation and introspection.
- Davis emphasizes that inner experience helped him arrive at the primacy of creativity and becoming.
God And World: Independent Inseparability
- Whitehead seeks a non-dual relationship where God and world are distinct yet mutually implicating.
- Davis calls this 'independent inseparability' to preserve genuine relationality without conflation.
