thumbnail The Center for Process Studies was founded in 1973 by John B. Cobb and David Ray Griffin to encourage exploration of the relevance of process thought to many fields of reflection and action. As a faculty center of Claremont School of Theology in association with Claremont Graduate University, and through seminars, conferences, publications and the library, CPS seeks to promote new ways of thinking based on the work of philosophers Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne. CPS seeks to promote the common good by means of the relational approach found in process thought. Process thought helps to harmonize moral, aesthetic, and religious intuitions with scientific insights, and grounds discussion between Eastern and Western religious and cultural traditions. It seeks to offer an approach to the social, political, and economic order that brings issues of human justice together with a concern for ecology. Its range of interests also includes scientific, philosophical, multicultural, feminist, interreligious, political, and economic concerns; with a strong focus on ecology and sustainability.〔()〕 Its current co-directors include the process scholars Philip Clayton, John B. Cobb, Monica Coleman, Roland Faber, David Ray Griffin, and Marjorie Hewitt Suchocki.〔()〕 ==Programs and projects== Whitehead Research Project The Whitehead Research Project (WRP) is committed to scholarship on the texts, philosophy, and life of Alfred North Whitehead. WRP places Whitehead’s thought in dialogue with contemporary philosophies in order to unfold his philosophy of organism and its consequences for our time. Process & Faith Process & Faith (P&F) is dedicated to providing practical applications of process-relational theology. P&F creates non-technical educational resources for clergy and laypersons of all faiths, including short-term courses and an online quarterly magazine Creative Transformation. P&F also makes available process-related books and other resources through its bookstore. The China Project The China Project translates major process texts into Chinese, holds academic conferences in the United States and China, sponsors an annual “Process Academy” in China, hosts visiting Chinese scholars in Claremont, and has established over 23 Centers for Process Studies in China. The Korea Project The Korea Project brings East and West together, by translating, publishing, organizing conferences, and offering Korean-language programs for students. Latin America Project The Latin America Project works to establish positive relations between Liberation Theology and process thought, by hosting conferences and translating process-related materials into Spanish and Portuguese. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Center for Process Studies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
