Sherburne, Donald W.  "Decentering Whitehead."  Process Studies 15, no. 2 (Summer 1986): 83-94.

Abstract

Arguments are given showing that though Whiteheadians' claim that their God acts in the world, there is great difficulty in giving any content to this claim.  This difficulty is offered as evidence for the soundness of the author's larger project of articulating a neo-Whiteheadian naturalism, which can be described in current language as a project for "decentering Whitehead."  This move replaces the notion of one center of order, meaning, and value (God) with a vast multiplicity of such centers of order, meaning, and value (the individual, concrete actual occasions) which slowly and laboriously create larger and larger pockets of order, meaning, and value, working from the "bottom up," not from the "top down."  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
