74Kant and Hegel's Responses to Hume's Skepticism Concerning Causality: An Evolutionary Epistemological PerspectiveCosmos and History : The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy 8 (1): 227-288. 2012.According to Hume, determinations of necessary causal connection are without empirical warrant, but, as he maintains, the concept of causality qua necessary connection is indispensable to human beings, having survival value for them, a claim which points to the biological significance of this concept. In contrast to Hume, Kant argues that the causal principle qua necessary connection belongs to the a priori conceptual framework by which rational beings constitute their experience and render the …Read more

57Beyond Mechanism: Putting Life Back Into BiologyLexington Books. 2013.It has been said that new discoveries and developments in the human, social, and natural sciences hang “in the air” (Bowler, 1983; 2008) prior to their consummation. While neo-Darwinist biology has been powerfully served by its mechanistic metaphysic and a reductionist methodology in which living organisms are considered machines, many of the chapters in this volume place this paradigm into question. Pairing scientists and philosophers together, this volume explores what might be termed “the New…Read more

40James mark Baldwin with alfred north whitehead on organic selectivity: the “novel” factor in evolutionCosmos and History 5 (2): 40-107. 2009.The aim of this paper is to show how James Mark Baldwin’s theory of Organic Selection can be fruitfully integrated with Alfred North Whitehead’s speculative philosophy, as part of the endeavor to develop a comprehensive process-relational evolutionary cosmology. In so doing, it provides an overview of the theory of Organic Selection and points to several concrete examples from the Galapagos Islands which elucidate Baldwin’s claim that organisms, through their selective activities and behavioral …Read more

15Education from a Whiteheadian Point of View: Rhythm, Process, and Poiesis (edited book)Cambridge Scholars Press. 2019.The basic aims of contemporary thinking in education are to cultivate a proper comprehension of the meaning and purpose of education and the role of the teacher, and to develop adequate theoretical and methodological frameworks that combine some of the positive sides of the leading theories, while avoiding their disadvantages. Toward these ends, one excellent candidate for consideration is Alfred North Whitehead's process-relational philosophy of education, as set forth in The Aims of Education …Read more

7The Adventure of Education: Process Philosophers on Learning, Teaching, and Research (edited book)BRILL. 2009.This book on process-relational philosophy of education suggests that the notion of Adventure is foundational for the advancement of knowledge. Learning, teaching, and research are best conceived as rhythmic and relational processes, involving curiosity, imagination, valuation, creativity, and self-realization. Thus construed, contemporary educational practices can be revitalized from pedagogies of information retention and the current overemphasis on analytic precision.

5Dynamic Being: Essays in Process-Relational Ontology (edited book)Cambridge Scholars Press. 2015.One of the most important characteristics of present day ontological research is the growing interest in, and emphasis on, the dynamic aspects of being and the process-relational character of being itself. However, many important questions still await detailed answers. For example, what is the meaning of the concepts of "dynamics," "dynamicity," and "dynamic ontology," among others? Are they identical to, or similar with, respectively, "processes," "process ontology," "process-relational ontolog…Read more
