Process Philosophy and Political Liberalism by Daniel A. Dombrowski, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Argues for political liberalism as a process-oriented view and process philosophy as a politically liberal viewDaniel 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 processphilosophy, 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 turnforms the basis of a future environmental ethics. | Process Philosophy and Political Liberalism by Daniel A.
