Synopsis

Gathering 115 entries written by 101 internationally renowned experts in their fields, the Handbook of Whiteheadian Process Thought canvasses the current state of knowledge in Whiteheadian scholarship and identifies promising directions for future investigations through (internal) cross-elucidation and (external) interdisciplinary development. Two kinds of entries are weaved together in order to interpret Whitehead and to read him from the vantage point of interdisciplinary and crossdisciplinary research. The thematic entries provide a broad context for the issue at stake; focus on Whiteheads treatment (if any) or a possible Whiteheadian treatment of the issue; give a history of relevant scholarship; present a personal assessment by the author. The biographical entries provide a brief vita of the targeted thinker; a sketch of his/her categories relevant to the Whiteheadian scholarship; and a personal assessment of the actual (or possible) Whiteheadian semantic transfer to or from the thinker.
