	Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality
		Alfred North Whitehead’s Process and Reality: An Essay in Cosmology is based on the Gifford Lectures which he delivered at the University of Edinburgh in 1927-8.
		Whitehead describes his system of speculative philosophy as a ‘philosophy of organism,’ or as an ‘organic philosophy,’ in that he views reality as consisting of interrelated and mutually dependent parts which are involved in sustaining vital processes.
		A prehension is a process of appropriation of an element of an actual entity, or of an element which is derived from an actual entity.

	Process Theism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Process philosophy, modifying a statement from Plato's Sophist (247e), affirms that the most concrete real beings — in Whitehead's language, actual entities — are characterized by the power to act and to be acted upon (Plato says real beings act or are acted upon).
		Process theists do not deny that love requires willing the good of the other, but they maintain that it requires something more, or at very least that there are greater forms of love of which willing the good of the other is a necessary aspect.
		Process thought raises the question — and answers it in the affirmative — whether a world with a probability, not merely a possibility, of genuine good and evil is preferable to a world without it.

	Process Philosophy and the New Thought Movement
		Process philosophy, or process theology, or simply process thought, is an outlook with roots that go as far back as the thought of Heraclitus in the West and Buddhism in the East, but the most prominent philosopher in developing its present form was Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947).
		The creative process is the taking (prehending, feeling, including, absorbing) of the many units of the past and blending their influence with also-prehended divinely given possibilities, thus producing unique new creations.
		Process New Thought is New Thought minus any instances of the fallacy of misplaced concreteness such as notions of changeless (non-growing) impersonal God, enduring substance, changeless and/or active law, and with the addition of insights from such thinkers as Whitehead and Hartshorne.

	The peace process - a reality check
		THERE is a widespread international perception that the peace process in Sri Lanka has made significant headway over the past few months and that, in the latest Oslo round of talks (December 2-5, 2002), there has been a `breakthrough' towards an enduring political settlement of the island's two-decade-old armed conflict.
		In psychology and psychoanalysis, reality testing is the technique of objective evaluation of an emotion or thought against real life, as a faculty present in normal individuals but defective in some psychotics.
		It is axiomatic that any peace process, in order to be successful, must win broad agreement from the two main `Sinhala' political parties — the UNP and the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) — and ideally from all the parties that have a popular base in the South.

	The Axiomatic Matrix of Whitehead’s Process and Reality
		Process and Reality and Principia Mathematica are both constructive schemes which develop from a matrix of undefined primitive notions.
		The categories of existence in Process and Reality, eight in number, are the classifications of the primary entities which function in accordance with the category of the ultimate.
		In Process and Reality the categoreal obligations perform the function of axioms expressing the necessary conditions for which actual occasions must obtain in order to achieve a fully determinate end as a unit of feeling.

	Process Theology, Process Theism
		Process Theology is a contemporary movement of theologians who teach that God is dipolar, or has two natures, and that he is integrally involved in the endless process of the world.
		This process is "epochal," i.e., not according to the motion of atoms or changeless substances but by events or units of creative experience which influence one another in temporal sequence.
		Though process theology has not yet become a major force in the church pew, it is very influential in the intellectual world of the seminaries and graduate schools, and no doubts is the most viable form of neoliberal theology now in the United States.

	Process philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Process philosophy reverses this trend, favoring "Becoming" over "Being" and "Non-being" which logically follows from Being, that is to say, it does not characterize change as illusory but as the cornerstone of metaphysical reality, or ontology.
		Process philosophy was not neglected during The Enlightenment but was often ignored as an attribute or element of more explicit ontology.
		The process metaphysics elaborated in Process and Reality proposes that the fundamental elements of the universe are occasions of experience.

	Transformations of Reality in the Legal Process
		All reality on a group level is formed by independent actors coming to agree to a common set of concepts, within a common frame of reference.
		The legal system provides a very formal example of the process of group reality formation: its procedures and precedents for coming to agreements are recorded and stand as guides for the formation of further agreements within the frame of reference of legal reality.
		Reality at the court level consists almost entirely of linguistic objectifications of past experiences, which are taken in law as constituting the "facts" of the case.

	PROCESS PHILOSOPHY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Process theism is a twentieth-century school of theological thought that offers a nonclassical understanding of the relationship between God and the world.
		Process theists, in contrast, maintain that God and the basic material out of which the rest of reality is composed are coeternal.
		If process theists decide that God would do so, it then becomes difficult to see how they can justifiably maintain (as many do) that coercion is morally incompatible with divine perfection (as Ford 1978 says), or that persuasion is the greatest of all powers, the only power capable of worthwhile results (as Cobb 1976 says).

	PROCESS PHILOSOPHY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Process philosophy replaces these ideas with a 'panexperientialist' ontology, a doctrine of perception in which nonsensory 'prehension' is fundamental, and a doctrine of divine power as persuasive rather than coercive.
		Process philosophy is based on the conviction that the central task of philosophy is to construct a cosmology in which all intuitions well-grounded in human experience can be reconciled.
		Whereas all process philosophies in the broad sense could agree with these statements, it is the particular interpretation given to them that constitutes the distinctiveness of Whiteheadian process philosophy.

	Process and Reality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Process and Reality (1929) is Alfred North Whitehead's opus explicating the Philosophy of Organism, a philosophy of subjectivity as process itself.
		Also called process philosophy, Whitehead's paradigm laid the ground work for a paradigm of subjectivity, which Whitehead calls a "completed metaphysical language." (p.
		Such a change of thought is the shift from materialism to Organic Realism, as a basic idea of physical science.

	Amazon.fr : A Key to Whitehead's Process and Reality: Livres en anglais: Alfred North Whitehead,Donald W. Sherburne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Alfred North Whitehead, in his magnum opus 'Process and Reality', set forth a philosophical framework that has inspired the subsequent generation of theologians to look towards a new system of metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, and theological reality.
		The text itself is organised to allow primary emphasis on Whitehead's own writing from 'Process and Reality', followed closely in the chapters by paragraphs of explanation and commentary by Sherburne (these are presented in an italicised typeface, making the distinction between Whitehead's words and the commentary very clear).
		Whitehead uses the process ideas set forth earlier to look at the concept of immortality, in particular, the love of God for the world, and the process by which all of reality can be redeemed and held complete in the mind of God.

		The interest in, and the influence of, the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead has mushroomed in the comparatively few years since his death in 1947, and there is every indication that Whitehead's audience will continue to grow in succeeding years.
		Process and Reality is one of the masterworks of 20th century philosophy, however its terminology make it hard to comprehend.

	Guide to Reality
		On Whitehead's view, as expressed in his Process and Reality (Whitehead 1978), reality is constituted of ``actual occasions'' or ``actual entities'', each one of which is associated with a unique extended region in space-time, distinct from and non-overlapping with all others.
		If this mirrors reality, then it is suggests it is the case in reality that causality at sub-Planckian scales is what is responsible for the existence of 4D spacetime.
		She borrows from quantum information processing theory the notion of a “noiseless subsystem” in quantum error correction: a subsystem protected from the noise, usually thanks to symmetries of the noise (section 1.5).
