The ISCP (International Society for Chinese Philosophy) invites proposals for an edited volume that explores the history, influence, and contemporary practice of process philosophy as a framework for comparative philosophy. This volume, Weaving Together: Comparative Approaches to Process Philosophy, aims to illuminate how process thought can serve as subject, method, or application in engaging philosophical traditions across cultures. While the primary focus is on the process tradition developed by Alfred North Whitehead and his intellectual heirs, contributions that engage other process-oriented figures and traditions are also encouraged. These may include figures such as G.W.F. Hegel, Henri Bergson, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Gilles Deleuze, as well as philosophical currents from Indian, Daoist, Confucian, Buddhist, and Indigenous thought. Proposals that employ process philosophy as a methodological or conceptual tool in comparative contexts, or that highlight how process thought contributes to broader conversations across metaphysical, ethical, aesthetic, and socio-political domains are especially welcomed.
