Index - A Process Cosmology


Index - A Process Cosmology

If reality itself is processual, then religion must be understood
as emerging from within that same process.
- R.E. Slater

Statement
The Metaphysics of a Relational Cosmology (Essays 1-2) requires an Ontology of Being (Essay 3) and Axiology of Value (Essay 3) that is Anchored in a Theology of the Divine (Essay 4). This is what is meant when developing a (Whiteheadian) Process Philosophy and Theology as the necessary completion of a processual cosmogeny when examining what reality is from a processual perspective.
Restatement
We live in an Awakening Universe (Panrelational and Panexperiential Origins). One with a Cosmic Consciousness (Panpsychism) whose relational character is seen in its reflective fields of Value (Ethics) - all of which is composed in the Lure of the Divine (Panentheism). This is what is meant by a process-based universe set within a process-based reality as it works itself out in the Life of the Divine.

The Metaphysics of Reality and Cosmology
  • What is reality?
  • What kind of universe do we live in?
  • Is the cosmos static or evolving?
  • How do consciousness, matter, and time interact?
A Processual Exploration of the Universe
To investigate the nature of reality through the lenses of science, philosophy, and theology, and thereby provide a philosophical foundation to the theology of the universe.
  • process metaphysics
  • quantum fields and cosmic harmonics
  • consciousness and relational existence
  • divine participation in an evolving universe
  • panpsychism and panentheism
  • cosmological emergence and creative novelty
