Abstract

The emergence of process modes of description within contemporary science is demonstrated through eleven papers in two special issues of "Process Studies" which evaluate new developments in physics, biological systems and evolution.  In spite of the natural tendency to substance-oriented descriptions for our world of perceptual objects, more and more frequent use of  'event/process' versus  'substance/thing' language is occurring in the sciences.  In particular, modern physics is much more about interactions and relations than about things and substances.  This emergence of process modes of description is related to how processes are inherently universal and repeatable.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
