Process and Analysis cover

Leading thinkers from both traditions explore common philosophical topics.

Process and Analysis brings together an unprecedented collection of the world's leading contemporary process and analytic philosophers to explore philosophical topics of common interest. The contributors examine a wide variety of explicit and implicit commonalities and differences of approach to such central philosophical issues as the nature and status of events, time, space, relations, particulars, and God. This unique collection demonstrates that both traditions have important things to say to one another. In fact, a largely ignored conversation between the two traditions has been carried on since at least the days of Whitehead's influence on early Cambridge analytic philosophy. This long awaited volume is an invaluable research tool for scholars and students alike working in the areas of analytic and process philosophy.

"This book builds a needed bridge between process metaphysics and contemporary analytic philosophy. Even readers who are very familiar with either tradition will find the book interesting, because the contributors uncover connections that are surprising. Shields has done a great job of collecting authors who are up to the task." — Daniel A. Dombrowski, author of Analytic Theism, Hartshorne, and the Concept of God
