Seeking a Whole Brain Experience: The Need to Right Our Mind with David Roy

Book Launch | Organic Materialism and Philosophy of Technology: On the Speculative Relationship between Thought and Matter
Kamila Kwapińska argues that we must dig deep into our intellectual habits to enable noo- and bio-diversity and resist the totalizing tendencies of global capitalism. The book calls for the diversification of methods in social sciences, and the incorporation of process perspectives, to deal with the fact that orthodox ontologies and methods have failed to predict and manage consecutive economic and socio-political crises. This book launch event will feature a brief presentation by the author outlining the book’s main argument, followed by a discussion with invited discussants and a Q&A session.

Love, Conflict, and an Unfolding Universe

Exploring the Life and Thought of Mulla Sadra: A 17th Century Muslim Process Philosopher with Jared Morningstar
In this session of Process Explorations, Jared Morningstar will introduce Mullā Ṣadrā, a Shiʿi Muslim philosopher and mystic who pioneered a process metaphysics within Islamic thought. This presentation will offer a brief sketch of Mullā Ṣadrā’s life and introduce the central doctrines of his philosophical system, with the aim of bringing this post-classical Islamic thinker into the wider conversation on process-relational thought. Along the way, comparisons with canonical process philosophers such as Alfred North Whitehead and Gilles Deleuze will help clarify Ṣadrā’s place among them.

Tear Open the Heavens? Advent for Process Theologians with Tripp Fuller
Advent opens with one of the most interventionist prayers in scripture: “O that you would tear open the heavens and come down.” So what does a process theologian do with it? Tripp Fuller joins the conversation to explore Advent through a God whose power persuades rather than coerces. The Annunciation becomes a model of divine action, with its lure, its question, and Mary’s yes. Waiting turns into openness to genuine novelty rather than a forecast, and the incarnation is read as God’s deepest participation in the world, the “fellow-sufferer who understands,” rather than a one-time intrusion into it.
