商品描述
This book articulates how African metaphysics (characterized by force) and process metaphysics (characterized by becoming) are similar on several fronts. On the one hand, the vitalist and relational characters of African metaphysics have engrossed researchers as unique and original to Africa, but they have yet to articulate where this leads - processism. On the other hand, the becoming or event underpinning of process metaphysics which has been the focus of Anglo-American processism, has not courted deserving academic attention, due chiefly to the influence wielded by substance metaphysics. This is the primary research gap which the present book magnifies, and then addresses, while contending for intellectual exchange(s) among specialists in processism, irrespective of the philosophic tradition. To accomplish this, this book admits intercultural philosophy for assessing the principal claims of some African and process philosophers and to bring them into a conversation, with an alternative system of logic in Ezumezu, to mediate thought, theory, and method. This effort assists in addressing the history of misrepresentation and distortion which process metaphysics, as an under-explored tradition, has suffered and endured.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書闡述了非洲形而上學(以力量為特徵)和過程形而上學(以成為為特徵)在多個方面的相似性。一方面,非洲形而上學的生命主義和關係特徵吸引了研究者的注意,因為這些特徵被視為非洲獨特且原創的,但尚未明確指出這將導向何處——過程主義。另一方面,過程形而上學的成為或事件基礎,這一直是英美過程主義的焦點,卻未能獲得應有的學術關注,主要是因為物質形而上學的影響。這是本書所放大並解決的主要研究空白,同時主張在過程主義專家之間進行智識交流,無論其哲學傳統如何。為了達成這一目標,本書引入跨文化哲學,以評估一些非洲和過程哲學家的主要主張,並將它們納入對話中,使用《Ezumezu》中的替代邏輯系統來調解思想、理論和方法。這一努力有助於解決過程形而上學作為一個未被充分探討的傳統所遭受的誤表述和扭曲的歷史。
