Abstract

Lewis Ford spots a dilemma in Whitehead's theory of God: either God influences actual occasions primordially but does not preserve their achieved value, or God preserves that value consequently but it cannot be prehended by actual occasions.  Ford's solution: God is Creativity, influencing actual occasions by shaping the possibilities in their immediately impending future.  But Ford's solution only recreates Whitehead's dilemma within the future.  Ford should take time seriously, dropping God's role as transcendent preserver and source of value.  Indeed, just drop God.  The past suffices as a resource for the only genuine values there are: perishable ones.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
