This year’s summer academy, July 8-13, was called “Zhuhai Process Academy”—the 17th process summer academy hosted in China. The inaugural summer academy can be traced back to 2006 and was held in Guilin, Guangxi Province. The “Zhuhai Process Academy” offered participants an introduction to Whitehead’s process philosophy, including basic metaphysical ideas and vocabulary, ontology and epistemology, biography of Whitehead, a history of the connection between process philosophy and China, and personal and social implications of process thought.

John Cobb delivered a plenary speech which set the tone for the EcoForum. After reviewing the development of the concept of Ecological Civilization, which was presented as a vital concern for both China and USA, Professor Cobb dedicated this 17th EcoForum—and the first to convene in-person since the pandemic—as an occasion to launch an energetic new trans-Pacific dialogue between these two great nations.

The intention behind the organization of this conference is to give scholars interested in the idealist aspects of Whitehead’s philosophy the opportunity to discuss and assess the relevance of the various strands of the idealist tradition to Whitehead’s metaphysics and to process metaphysics generally, as well as the relevance of process-relational philosophy to present day anti-materialist explorations in general metaphysics and philosophy of mind.
