These essays, by established scholars in the field, demonstrate how a wider and deeper understanding of the world can be obtained using process philosophical concepts, how the distortions and blockages inevitably inherent in substantivist talk can be set aside, and how new and fertile lines of research in the sciences can be opened as a result.Process ThoughtProcess philosophyElectronic books.Process philosophy.100Dibben Mark1029594Kelly Thomas156691MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452716903321Applied process thought2472676UNINA
