Description
Asks if reality is simply static, or dynamic and relational Establishes and develops the idea of dynamic realism in contrast to dynamic/temporal/powers ontologies developed both in the analytic and continental tradition Establishes and develops engaged experience Re-interprets and develops the ideas of adequacy and correlation Engages debates on the new forms of metaphysical thought that are currently emerging in the continental tradition Addresses ideas from biology and physics Argues for shared ground between process philosophy and phenomenology Uses ancient Greek thought to examine contemporary issues in new ways Philosophy has traditionally considered reality as a set of static objects. Tina R ck transcends this understanding to explore the realistic potential of relational and dynamic ontology. These explorations are both complex and problematic as we attempt to reconceptualise being, truth and knowledge as processual. To navigate this thinking, R ck takes a new phenomenological path into a realism that discloses the world as temporal and relational, without dismissing the epistemological difficulties surrounding genuine change. A fundamental challenge to outdated ways of thinking in our rapid, interconnected world, this book provides a provocative and contemporary understanding of our temporal reality.
