How do we make ourselves a Whiteheadian proposition? This question
exposes the multivalent connections between postmodern thought and
Whitehead’s philosophy, with particular attention to his
understanding of propositions.
Edited by Roland Faber, Michael Halewood, and Andrew M. Davis,
Propositions in the Making articulates the newest reaches of
Whiteheadian propositions for a postmodern world. It does so by
activating interdisciplinary lures of feeling, living, and co-creating
the world anew. Rather than a “logical assertion,” Whitehead
described a proposition as a “lure for feeling” for a collectivity
to come. It cannot be reduced to the verbal content of logical
justifications, but rather the feeling content of aesthetic
valuations. In creatively expressing these propositions in wide
relevance to existential, ethical, educational, theological,
aesthetic, technological, and societal concerns, the contributors to
this volume enact nothing short of “a Whiteheadian Laboratory.”
