Process theology

Second, the notion of process dominates the work of three philosophers of the last century Henri-Louis Bergson (1859-1941), Samuel Alexander (1859-1938), and Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) (see Ayer, 1982, pp. 208-9). In passing, it is perhaps worth noting that process theology is based on the metaphysics of Whitehead, who rejected Divine Action in terms of causality, proposing that God acts persuasively in all events, but not necessarily in determining their character. Specifically, Whitehead pointed out the incoherence of belief in a lifeless universe. [Pg.152]

Formulation Characterization. Prior to using a new propellant formulation in pilot-plant or production studies, the material must be fully characterized and analyzed Theologically. Processability predictions may be extrapolated from this step. [Pg.178]

The development of stable and practical reactors and effective control systems for the three types of classical reactors are covered. Notice that reactors are included, not just control schemes. Underlying the material and approaches in this book is my basic philosophy (theology) that the design of the process and the process equipment has a much greater effect on the successful control of a reactor than do the controllers that are hung on the process or the algorithms that are used in these controllers. This does not imply that the use of models is unimportant in reactor control, since in a number of important cases they are essential for achieving the desired product properties. [Pg.435]

Modern scholars have taken note that Erasmus disputation illustrates the decisionmaking process and is a methodological showcase. For recent discussions and literature see C. Augustijn, Erasmus der Humanist als Theologe vnd Kirchenreformer (Leiden, 1996), 245-324 M. O Rourke-Boyle, Rhetoric and Reform, 122-31. [Pg.167]
