Realist ontologies usually assume so: according to them, the world consists of objects, which have properties and enter into relations with each other, more or less as we are accustomed to think of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst this view, Rein Raud develops a radical process ontology that does not credit any vantage point, any scale or speed of being, any range of cognitive faculties with the privilege to judge how the world ‘really’ is. In his view, what we think of as objects are recast as fields of constitutive tensions, cross-sections of processes, never in complete balance but always striving for it and always reconfiguring themselves accordingly. The human self is also understood as a fluctuating field, not limited to the mind but distributed all over the body and reaching out into its environment, with different constituents of the process constantly vying for control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe need for such a process philosophy has often been voiced, but rarely has there been an effort to develop it in a systematic and rigorous manner that leads to original accounts of identity, continuity, time, change, causality, agency, and other topics. Throughout his new book, Raud engages with an unusually broad range of philosophical schools and debates, from New Materialism and Object-Oriented Ontology to both phenomenological and analytical philosophy of mind, from feminist philosophy of science to neurophilosophy and social ontology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeing in Flux\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to students and scholars in philosophy and the humanities generally and to anyone interested in current debates about realism, materialism, and ontology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000554569964,"sku":"9781509549511","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12517363482725.jpg?v=1763284256"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/rein-raud.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
