Relevancy22: Contemporary Process Christianity: Post-Evangelic Topics and Theology: Feb 8, 2022

Index to Process Science & Cosmology

Here, I have mixed in a little bit of everything over the past two years (2020 - Feb 2022) related to quantum cosmologies as I have covered them in some aspect of the subject itself - along with any topics especially relating to cosmology and metaphysics, process philosophy and theology, or the evolutionary origins of the universe from a processual basis.

The reader may pick-and-choose the topics to connect together one-with-the-other with the thought that hopefully, I've been able to address a few other topics which may help "expand and extend" the cosmic metaphors, philosophies, and ontological possibilities humanity has been searching; topics which may help make sense of the cold, hard scientific facts the metamodern sciences are discovering one-after-the-other. If you will then, this index here is a constructive cosmological process-based metaframework of the living organism we live within panrelationally, panexperientially, and panpsychically.

As you'll see, my bias will run towards Whitehead's Philosophy of Organism ( sic, Process Philosophy) as it has been responding to the quantum sciences of the 20th and 21st Centuries. As an integral philosophy of everything, process thought has been responding quite helpfully in providing the (processual) sciences of cosmology and evolution with a metaphysical and ontological perspective (this latter, re ontology, comes courtesy of process theology).

You'll also notice from the CD cover below, that science itself has been attempting to provide it's own philosophical perspectives through "look-backs" in history. For the English mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, he started with the German Idealist Hegel whose cosmological outlook began - but became overwhelmed - within the trappings of his enlightenment era when fellow philosophers over the next several hundred years got caught up in the idea of a mechanistic, matter v mind cosmology and did not extend his work.

As a Scientist and Royal Academy Fellow, Whitehead noticed the need for a relevant cosmology after completing his Principia Mathematic with Bertrand Russel and immediately set out to complete his life's last project by re-orienting science towards a relationally processual essence of being. Translated, this meant to see the world as "an organic essence full of relationality, open-endedness, and prehensive concreasences of actualities and possibilities."

And so I don't think the reader will be disappointed when reading through these postings. For myself, Process Philosophy has meaningfully circumscribed itself around all previous Western and Continental philosophies, and has helpfully integrated some of the more salient points of Middle-Eastern and Oriental philosophy as well. This is why Process Philosophy portends towards becoming, for the time being, an overarching integral theory of cosmology, metaphysics, and ontology.
