Bracken, Joseph A.  "Proposals for Overcoming the Atomism Within Process-Relational Metaphysics."  Process Studies 23, no.1 (Spring 1994): 10-24.

Abstract

The author's intent in this article is twofold: first, to make clear the difficulties for process-relational metaphysics because of the heavy focus on actual occasions as "the final real things of which the world is made up", and then to show how that same tendency to metaphysical atomism can be remedied by a new understanding of Whiteheadian societies as structured fields of activity for their constituent occasions.  Thus understood, societies are enduring objective realities which better correspond to the notion of the self in psychology, to the governing image of the world in cosmology, and to belief in God as triune in theology.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
