Publisher's Synopsis
Evoluciones metafísicas. Permanencia, Emergencia y Diálogo es una iniciativa del Grupo de Investigación de Evoluciones Metafísicas de la Universidad Central de Venezuela para mostrar la actualidad de la filosofía del proceso en Occidente a partir de la convicción de que la fragmentación del saber es una amenaza para enfrentar los retos evolutivos de la humanidad.Note from Jay McDaniel: "The Central University of Venezuela is home to a creative team of philosophers and researchers who are exploring meta-physical alternatives for a better world with help from Whitehead 's philosophy. One of their projects is to have ten philosophical conversations over the phone; they speak of these conversations collectively as Decasophia...: Their conversations show how much thoughtful creativity is unfolding in many parts of the world, with Venezuela playing a special role, and the fact that they are in Spanish reminds readers of the sheer beauty of the Spanish language in poetry, ordinary conversation, and philosophy. We look forward to more from the GIEM team".Note from John Cobb: "This is great news. These people understand that philosophy is immensely important for all of us rather than an academic game. Whitehead has much to offer to those who areceeking an alternative to the disastrous aspects of modem philosophy: Perhaps their number is increasing. and we were not entirely ridiculous to say that the twenty-first century would be the Whitehead century. I find it quite wonderful that leadership is coming from Venezuela!".
