Hi Mastodon,
I'm a PhD candidate in #philosophy at the #UniversityOfHelsinki , focusing on #metaphysics, #ontology, #processphilosophy and philosophy of #biology. I also study #theology , in which I'm most interested in philosophy of religion, #processtheology , the relationship between science and religion, and the role of #religion in matters of conflict and #peace.
I'm looking forward to share things & have conversations about #research in my fields, but also about
- #books (I read #nonfiction #scifi and #specfic the most)
- #antimilitarism , #nuclearban , #nucleardisarmament
- #pedagogy (since I occasionally work in #education )
- #games: #videogames, #boardgames & #tcg
- #movies
- #birds
Let me know if you are tooting (:D) about any of these things!
@MrBerard Hi! Yes, process philosophy is most often associated with Whitehead. However, I've been more involved with other process ontological theories, especially Johanna Seibt's non-whiteheadian process ontology.
Even though Whitehead's influence is huge, I think it's fair to say that we can call any philosophical theory which puts an emphasis on dynamic nature of reality process philosophical.
@MrBerard Never too late haha! And it seems that no matter when you start with Whitehead, you are never finished anyway. There is a Center of Process Studies, which also publishes the journal Process Studies, which focuses specifically on whiteheadian process philosophy, if you are interested to dive deeper into it.
