Charles Hartshorne (1897-2000) is considered by many to be one of the greatest philosophers of religion and metaphysics of the twentieth century. He is the author of several books, including The Darkness and the Light: A Philosopher Reflects Upon His Fortunate Career and Those Who Made It Possible; Wisdom as Moderation: A Philosophy of the Middle Way; and Creativity in American Philosophy, all published by SUNY Press. Donald Wayne Viney is Professor of Philosophy at Pittsburg State University and the author of Charles Hartshorne and the Existence of God, also published by SUNY Press. Jincheol O is Minister at the Seoul Memorial Baptist Church in Seoul, South Korea. Previously, he served as the Archives Director at the Center for Process Studies in Claremont, California.
"This book truly is a testament to Hartshorne's metaphysical genius ... I would recommend this book ... to those looking to expand their knowledge of process philosophy vis-a-vis studies in Whitehead, or more generally to anyone simply looking to master the essentials of Hartshorne." - Leon Niemoczynski, American Journal of Theology and Philosophy "Although this book is addressed to other philosophers, it is written in clear and lucid prose, accessible to non-technical readers." - Literature and Theology "One does not have to be a follower of Hartshorne, nor even a process philosopher, to benefit from reading this last metaphysical testament by one of America's most distinguished thinkers." - George Allan, author of Higher Education in the Making: Pragmatism, Whitehead, and the Canon
