After Nature: Process Theology and OOO

The relationship between humans and a given framework of knowledge is always, in my view, ecological in nature (i.e., any philosophy or framework can encounter and engage any other philosophy or framework and create new philosophical mixtures). That said, OOO and process theology do share overlapping knowledge territories, the ?ecotone? metaphor is apt (I think the Claremont Conference could be one example). Of course I?m not saying that there is a necessary link between OOO and process theology, but it bears mentioning that Whitehead?s philosophy in the 20th century was carried, in large part, by theologians, or at least philosophers of religion. Thus when OOO theorists call on Whitehead, they can of course do so in which ever way they want, drawing upon whatever aspects of Whitehead?s thinking they find relavent. However, the connection to process theology shouldn?t be surprising given how much literature there is on Whitehead and the topic, and especially considering the role God plays in Whitehead?s metaphysics. Though again perhaps Whitehead plays a larger role in Harman?s version of OOO than in yours (Levi) or Morton?s, in which case the process question could be beside the point in this context.
