Reviews

...process thought needs a book like this ... The authors engage richly with the history of western philosophy, contemporary analytic philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, creating a fine meshwork of connections in which the process approach stands out in vivid contrast with modern alternatives, while at the same time making sense of its perennial minority status. - American Journal of Theology and Philosophy Weber and Weekes have produced a volume of essays that fills a lacuna in the Whitehead literature, namely, A. N. Whitehead's process approach to consciousness and its relevance to contemporary consciousness studies ... Contributors include an international lineup of philosophers, biologists, psychologists, and neurologists. - CHOICE Weber's and Weekes's collection shows that Whitehead paves the way to a new philosophy of mind that reorients all the currently debated issues and in particular enables us to root psychotherapy in processes hitherto ignored because they belong to an order of reality that eludes scientific observation. - Jean-Marie Breuvart, Professor of Philosophy (retired), Universite Catholique de Lille
