This volume asks what Whitehead’s process philosophy can offer to a planet in the midst of continual religious and political rupture. Each essay carefully grapples with the prospect of balancing justice and peace without resorting to stifling assimilation or alienating the other. The result is a compelling collection that imagines interreligious harmony not as a naïve utopia of sameness, but as a continual unfolding of events in which differences—both complementary and destructive—are ingredients.
