Just to capture a couple of new “process view” resources for me.
Naomi de Ruiter in the first and Dan Nicholson in the second:
The Dissenter Podcast on Spotify
Hat tip to Kevin Mitchell’s timeline for both.
Obviously Whitehead is an inspiration, an important reference used, but Dan claims not to be “a Whiteheadian”. Whitehead made his own “neologistic” word choices for process aspects he wanted to pin-down as “entities” in his metaphysics, but clearly these don’t exhaust all possibilities and still drive “exegesis” in interpreting details of what he actually intended – philosophy was ever thus. There’s an ethical choice in pinning named things into an ontology – Yay! And anyway, the real value is in the abstraction.
Yay again!
The Devil’s in the details, but
The Angels are in the abstraction.
