Dynamic Realism : Uncovering the Reality of Becoming through Phenomenology and Process Philosophy (Intersections in Continental and Analytic Philosophy)

Is reality simply static, or dynamic and relational? Tina Rock dives into the complexities of this question to reveal a new understanding of the relationship between thinking and being. Philosophy has traditionally considered reality as a set of static objects. Rock transcends this understanding to explore the realistic potential of relational and dynamic ontology. These explorations are both complex and problematic as we attempt to reconceptualise being, truth and knowledge as processual. To navigate this thinking, she takes a new phenomenological path into a realism that discloses the world as temporal and relational, without dismissing the epistemological difficulties surrounding genuine change. A fundamental challenge to outdated ways of thinking in our rapid, interconnected world, this book provides a provocative and contemporary understanding of our temporal reality.
