![]() I conclude that if Prehension is used to interpret the basic levels of relationship then participation is free to be used for higher meanings only. I believe that Tillich uses participation to apply to different levels of relatedness from the mere 'having of relation' to the saving participation of the New Being. In chapter four I analyse both Whiteheads' concept of Prehension and Tillichs' concept of participation and show how the latter can be clarified by reference to the former. In collaboration with Bertrand Russell, he co-authored the landmark three-volume. Alfred North Whitehead (18611947) was a British mathematician, logician and philosopher best known for his work in mathematical logic and the philosophy of science. For example, Tillichs' insight into the phenomenological threat of non-being can be included in process to enrich its ability to address the human situation. First published Tue substantive revision Tue Mar 10, 2015. I also argue in chapter three that while Tillich and Process cannot be brought together as systems they can benefit from one another at specific points. Whiteheads God also functions as a persuasive telos that draws the universe toward greater complexity, greater integration of these complexities in communion. In Process and Reality Alfred North Whitehead dealt extensively with. And as a unified actual entity, God is superjective in that he is present to and immanent in the world. As a result of God’s prehension of the world he is consequent as a unified actual entity. The religious and philosophical similarities and differences are outlined and the judgement made that ultimately the difference is due to Tillich's insistence on symbolic language. Hartshorne is noted for his identification of panentheism, or all things in God, as the most faithful and philosophical word to describe Gods ongoing. To Whitehead, the nature of God is primordial as a unified actual entity. ![]() ![]() In chapter three I discuss general similarities of system structure and basic ideology between Tillich and Process but conclude that there are insurmountable difficulties in bringing the two systems into closer dialogue. Chapter one is concerned with an exposition of Tillich's concept of God while chapter two examines the process view and explains the divergence of Hartshorne from Whitehead. This Thesis aims to compare and contrast the doctrines of God found within the writings of Paul Tillich, Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne. ![]()
