OverviewDaniel A. Dombrowski brings together the thought of the 20th-century philosophy's greatest political liberal, John Rawls, with the thought of the great process philosophers, Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne. He shows that political liberalism is intimately linked with process philosophy, renaming it 'process liberalism'. He justifies this process liberalism in contrast to four potentially troublesome sources or influences: metaphysics, religion, right-wing politics and left-wing politics. Dombrowski engages a series of interlocutors and alternative positions including Franklin I. Gamwell, Timothy D. Snyder, Martin Heidegger and Karl Marx. In conclusion, he offers a compelling, intricate and resourceful argument for nonhuman animal rights based on Rawlsian principles, which in turn forms the basis of a future environmental ethics.

Table of ContentsReviewsThe contemporary movement that traces its origins to Whitehead and Hartshorne is at a critical juncture. Some would align process thought with anti-liberal political philosophies that are starkly at odds with the basic commitments expressed by Whitehead and Hartshorne themselves. Dombrowski is a leading process thinker whose resistance against this anti-liberal shift should give pause to those who have abandoned liberalism in this ominous time of testing, in which pluralistic democracy is being challenged around the globe.-- ""Derek Malone-France, George Washington University"" "The contemporary movement that traces its origins to Whitehead and Hartshorne is at a critical juncture.
