Process Essays

Process Essays, Volume I explores a radical but increasingly influential philosophical idea: - reality is not fundamentally made of things, but of processes - .Across a series of interconnected essays, Ayesha Jasmin and Azalea Jasmin challenge the assumptions of traditional substance-based thinking—the belief that objects, identities, and essences exist independently and persist unchanged beneath the surface of experience. In its place, they present a process-oriented framework in which stability emerges from dynamic relations, continuity arises from ongoing activity, and what we call "e;things"e; are temporary patterns within larger flows of becoming.Drawing on philosophy, cognitive science, systems theory, Buddhist thought, and contemporary physics, the book examines questions of identity, consciousness, causation, ethics, perception, and social organization. What is a self if there is no permanent essence? How should we understand responsibility if identity is a process rather than a substance? What happens to our understanding of reality when relation becomes more fundamental than object?Written for both general readers and serious students of philosophy, Process Essays, Volume I offers an accessible introduction to process-based thinking while advancing a distinctive vision of reality as dynamic, relational, and continuously unfolding.Rather than asking what things are, these essays ask a deeper question:What if reality is not made of things at all, but of ongoing patterns of becoming?----------
