Reviews
-
At last, however, we have in Hosinski's fine book an exceptional approachable introduction to process thought, and one especially apt for those who wish to examine its theological possibilities.
Theological Studies
-
. . . a masterful job of introducing complex new Whiteheadian language in a gentle, systematic way. . . .The availability of this book now makes it possible to include Whitehead in a semester course for undergraduates. Hosinski's superb study has overcome a long-standing pedagogical problem.
Donald W. Sherburne, Vanderbilt University
-
. . . a splendid appraisal of Whitehead's difficult but vastly important metaphysics. Its very clarity and obvious relevance represent one of the best possible arguments . . . knowledgeable of both process philosophy and theology; accurate in its description of Whitehead's intricate and elegant system; appreciative of the boldness, novelty and incredible scope of his ideas; and judiciously critical.
Langdon Gilkey, Georgetown University
-
Hosinski presents the complexities of Whitehead's conceptuality with remarkable simplicity and clarity.
John B. Cobb, Jr., Claremont Graduate School
-
Thanks to Hosinski serious students no longer have an excuse that making sense of Whitehead's metaphysics is beyond them.
The Expository Times
-
. . . an attractive alternative to Victor Lowe's Understanding Whitehead, Ivor Leclerc's Whitehead's Metaphysics, and Donald Sherburne's A Key to Whitehead's Process and Reality. . . . Recommended for advanced undergraduates and beyond.
