"Cosmos, Chaos, and Process" is a comprehensive
history and normative analysis of the tension between
the ideas of order and disorder in Western thought,
as this has taken shape in philosophy, religion, and
science. Chapters with titles like "Cosmos as True
Myth," "God and the Speed of Light," and "2+2 Is Not
Four" offer a survey of process philosophy (and
anti-process philosophy) in all its various forms,
from the pre-Socratics to Superstring Theory. In
doing so, the author seeks to formulate an
existential and humanistic social ethic in the
tradition of Albert Camus and Karl Jaspers. Other
thinkers examined in depth include Aristotle, Henri
Bergson, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Albert Einstein,
Euripides, Søren Kierkegaard, Isaac Newton, Reinhold
Niebuhr, Blaise Pascal, Plato, Jean-Paul Sartre,
Friedrich Schleiermacher, Sophocles, Max Stirner,
Miguel de Unamuno, Alfred North Whitehead, and many
more.
