Process

Abstract

In this paper I discuss the process ontology that has been the central focus of my research for almost 20 years. I explain what this is, and illustrate how it applies to biology through the example of the organism. I also aim to show how naturally process ontology fits with the disordered world I described in the preceding article. Finally, I show how process philosophy illuminates a number of topics relating to the human condition, including personal identity and freedom of the will, and provides a deeper understanding of the issue around human classification, notably by sex and gender and by race.
