SUMMARY:Process Metaphysics
DESCRIPTION:Ready to rethink reality?  \nAgainst the old view of a mechanistic world\, process philosophy teaches that reality is alive and evolving. \nIn this immersive two-week survey course\, we’ll consider the history and development of process philosophy\, beginning against the backdrop of ancient Greek metaphysics\, medieval theology\, and the modern conception of nature as a machine. In particular\, we will examine the thought of F.W.J. Schelling\, A.N. Whitehead\, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. \nThis course aims to bridge the Continental and Anglophone traditions. We’ll place Whitehead’s groundbreaking concepts in direct conversation with Schelling’s philosophy of nature and Teilhard de Chardin’s evolutionary cosmic vision. \nIf you want a general introduction to the history and main ideas of the process tradition as a foundation for further study\, this course is for you. \n\nCourse Structure:\n4 Recorded Lectures\n2 Live Discussions on Zoom (Thursday\, September 17 at 9:00 am & Friday\, September 25 at 7:00 pm)\n(All live discussions will be recorded and made available to participants)
