The Chromatiques Whiteheadiennes network brings together research on different aspects, nuances and implications of Alfred North Whitehead’s thought. Since 2002, the network has sponsored several research seminars in Paris on Whitehead’s philosophy. The Chromatikon Yearbooks feature the main results of this work and also offer critical studies and reviews in Whiteheadian and related fields. The Chromatikon Yearbooks complement works published in ontos verlag’s Chromatiques Whiteheadiennes and Process Thought book series. Whitehead’s thought is a prism in which everyone can find food for thought. As is well known, his research was first devoted to algebra, logic, and applied mathematics; then to educational issues, epistemology, and philosophy of nature; and later to metaphysics and natural theology. This issue of the Chromatikon continues our journey into Whitehead’s legacy.

Following A.N. Whitehead, this book takes up the principal challenge facing a natural philosopher who wishes to engage with Nature while rescuing both Life and Thought from materialistic approaches which rob them of their 'quicknesses'. Selecting certain insights and intuitions from the writings of Peirce, Coleridge, Deleuze and Nietzsche, the author proffers a remedy for the pervasive nihilism of 'the moderns' which illustrates Deleuze's suggestion that philosophy should be imaged as a dynamic collage that is forever in the making.

Postmodern philosophy is often dismissed as unintelligible, self-contradictory, and as a passing fad with no contribution to make to the problems faced by philosophers in our time. While this characterization may be true of the type of philosophy labeled postmodern in the 1980s and 1990s, David Ray Griffin argues that Alfred North Whitehead had formulated a radically different type of postmodern philosophy to which these criticisms do not apply. Griffin shows the power of Whitehead's philosophy in dealing with a range of contemporary issues--the mind-body relation, ecological ethics, truth as correspondence, the relation of time in physics to the (irreversible) time of our lives, and the reality of moral norms. He also defends a distinctive dimension of Whitehead's postmodernism, his theism, against various criticisms, including the charge that it is incompatible with relativity theory.
