| Summary: | The manuscript of this book, apparently completed in the late 1980s, was found among the papers of process philosopher Charles Hartshorne (1897–2000). In it, Hartshorne describes and defends his view of ‘creative experiencing’ or ‘a philosophy of freedom’ in conversation with other philosophers. Arguing against determinism, Hartshorne states that individuals are both related to and, to a great extend, determined by the past, and yet are free or capable of introducing novelty into the world. The book is also an extended argument against the view of modern science that the world human beings experience is made up of ‘dead matter’. |
