SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Eugene Shirley & Friends
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Pando: Leveraging Society’s Pillars for Change! \n\n\n\nPresenters: Eugene Shirley & Friends \n\n\n\nEarth’s largest organism\, Pando the Tree\, inspired graphics for the 2015 Claremont Conference\, “Seizing an Alternative.”  Pando the organization is a “non-profit producer of educational programs for civic engagement with the end goal of building a more sustainable California Southland.”  Eugene Shirley\, Founding President of Pando\, has rounded up a talented crew to creatively engage folks in Los Angeles County in aiming for its ambitious sustainability goals.  The CSO Strategic Task Force brings together Chief Sustainability Officers from government\, higher education\, business\, and NGOs to focus on the common good of strengthening community resilience in Los Angeles County.   \n\n\n\n         Heidrun Mumper-Drumm\, head of the CSO Task Force\, will join our conversation\, along with John B.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Attuning with Things: The Mind According to Nishitani Keiji
DESCRIPTION:We are not our brains and brains are not computers. The mind is much more than computations. As more than a few authors acknowledge today in the philosophy of mind\, the notion that the mind is a computer fails because it makes us ignore the relevance of the body for our mental lives. Yet\, we need to go even further: tiles and stones\, rivers and valleys\, all things participate in the making of an individual mind. Regarding the problem of how we can ever hope to know anything about the world\, we should not ask how we can get in contact with things: we already are essentially connected with them. The question is\, rather\, how we can attune with them so that they can show their real being. \n\n\n\nThis is the approach presupposed by the Japanese philosopher Nishitani Keiji (1900-1990)\, one of the main representatives of the Kyoto School. Even though the mind was not explicitly among his main topics of interest\, Carlos Barbosa Cepeda believes that we can learn much about the way that Keiji touches upon the topic in his works. Keiji argues that we get to know a certain fact due to the mutual projection of mind and fact. This notion can help us to achieve a vivid (i.e. not merely theoretical/discursive) understanding of who we are\, and it can also help us to regain our confidence that we can get to know reality even if we are not professional scientists.  \n\n\n\nIn this Pop-Up\, Kyoto School scholar Carlos Barbosa Cepeda will explore Nishitani Keiji’s philosophy of mind\, showing how ideas from the Japanese philosopher help us move beyond metaphors of the mind as a computer and achieve a more vivid understanding of who we are. \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following:

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Deconstructing Hell
DESCRIPTION:Would a loving God sentence anyone to eternal torment? Chad Bahl and other open and relational thinkers say no in their new book Deconstructing Hell: Open and Relational Responses to the Doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment. In this online event\, we’ll explore why Chad and his fellow authors argue that perhaps no modern church dogma has been more destructive to the mission of Jesus\, created more atheists\, or generated more religious trauma than that of eternal conscious torment (ECT) for the non-believer.  \n\n\n\nChad\, a doctoral student of Thomas Jay Oord\, will highlight the very good reasons to deconstruct what many see as a harmful doctrine and introduce more constructive and healing approaches to understanding ‘final judgment.’ \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following:

Dr. Cobb says in his preface\, “Before I died I wanted to write once to state\, if only for myself\, what I really feel most keenly about\, without worrying about whom I might offend. . . .I have felt called by Jesus’ Abba to do what I could for the healthy survival of the biosphere and for an ecological civilization for humanity.” He asks how\, as a disciple of Jesus\, we resist self-destructive planning toward nuclear holocaust and planetary destruction. \n\n\n\n The first six chapters articulate commitments we need to gain from Jesus–loving enemies\, loving Jesus’ Abba\, serving Abba rather than money\, opening science to wider truth\, loving ‘the least of these’ (including non-humans)\, and finding Jesus’ proclamation of the baseileia tou theou in the quest for ecological civilization. The next chapters aim to overcome the Western Worldview by “thinking historically\,” assisted by Alfred North Whitehead’s “Inclusive Vision.” Specific attention is given to what we can do in the United States\, especially in our Foreign Policy. Americans can “learn the truth” and “challenge the goal” of US global domination. He closes the book with reflection on “The Gender of God and the Role of Women in the Church.”  \n\n\n\nJohn invited the Rev. Bonnie Tarwater to write a final chapter\, “Can Women Save Discipleship to Jesus?” An Appendix provides specific suggestions for “Guidelines for Earth Crisis Support Groups.” Drawing from her experience in Twelve-Step programs\, Pastor Bonnie extends “an invitation to you to begin a group for sharing the truth of our interconnected lives.” \n\n\n\nBonnie Tarwater\, pastor of Church of Our Common Home\,  and Jeanyne Slettom\, publisher of Process Century Press\, will be available to join our conversation with John Cobb about his Confessions.  Read the book\, or at least scan the table of contents and preface\, and come prepared to “Ask Dr. Cobb” and to reflect on your own “confessions.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email. To find out about a single meeting\, send an email to events@cobb.institute. If you would like to receive regular meeting announcements and updates about the Institute\, please join our list of Friends. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to the live session?

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Meijun Fan
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Cobb & China \n\n\n\nPresenters: Meijun Fan \n\n\n\nDr. Meijun Fan is the Program Director for the Institute for Postmodern Development of China\, and Co-Director of the China Project of the Center for Process Studies. We celebrate with her the completion of a 5-year project to write a book in Chinese about John Cobb and China\, recently announced at the CPS website.  \n\n\n\nShe will be accompanied by a team of Chinese scholars who have assisted her. All of them have been visiting scholars at the Center for Process Studies. \n\n\n\n\nProf. Lu Liu\, one of the co-authors of the book\, from Harbin Normal University\, specializes in process education.\n\n\n\nProf. Jinhua Ke\, one of the book reviewers\, is from Zhejiang Shuren University. His major is in the philosophy of religion and ecological philosophy. One of his books is The Study of Cobb’s Postmodern Ecological Thought (2018).\n\n\n\nDr. Junfeng Wang\, one of the book reviewers\, is from Wenzhou Academy of Social Sciences. His research focuses on Charles Hartshorne’s thoughts.\n\n\n\n\nThe acceptance of process thought in contemporary China is a remarkable tale and has become a captivating cultural phenomenon. According to Jierong Lu and Honglin Liu’s article\, “The Fall of Substance and the Rise of Process—Interpreting Process Philosophy from the Evolution Logic of Western Metaphysics\,” process thought is considered to be “the biggest movement after John Dewey’s pragmatism was introduced into China.” [Theoretical Investigation\,1 (2014):47-52.] \n\n\n\nMeijun Fan is primarily responsible for overseeing Cultural Communication\, the newspaper publication of the project. Additionally\, she manages the Chinese visiting scholar program\, conference program\, and publicity efforts. Previously\, Fan held the position of Vice-Chair and Professor at Beijing Normal University’s Philosophy Department. She completed her doctoral studies in Chinese traditional aesthetics and aesthetic education at the same university. Fan has authored six books and co-authored seven\, including the recent notable work Cobb and China: An Intensive Study of Cobb’s Postmodern Ecological Civilization Thoughts. Her book Contemporary Interpretation of Chinese Traditional Aesthetic received the “Excellence Award in Philosophy and Social Science” in China in 1997. She has also published over 100 academic articles in Chinese and English. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.

Now retired\, she is the vice chair of the Cobb Institute Board\, and is currently guiding our strategic planning process. She currently studies the relationship of spirituality and tikkun olam\, or repair of the world\, focusing on ecological and social justice and the potential of theology to enhance or obstruct the planet’s thriving.

SUMMARY:Starting With Whitehead: Session 5
DESCRIPTION:This five-part conversation series offers an analysis of learning events at each of the three stages of the rhythm of education\, described in Whitehead’s classic The Aims of Education. Each conversation will focus on the recently published book Starting with Whitehead\, by Lynn De Jonghe\, which bridges the gap between the theory and practice of educational reform\, and points the way for adults to help children thrive in a world of change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“There is only one subject matter for education\, and that is Life in all its manifestations.”—Alfred North Whitehead \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs we search for guidance on how to thrive in changing times\, we are led to the work of Alfred North Whitehead\, who brilliantly perceived that the process of change itself is fundamental to existence. Whitehead grasped the profound role of change in determining how we how we learn\, how we experience ourselves and others and how we interact with the world around us. In his classic work\, The Aims of Education\, he elaborated a three-stage process of learning\, involving romance\, precision and generalization. He called for an education that explored real life experiences and events rather than packing of scraps of information into passive students.  \n\n\n\n\n\nStarting with Whitehead: Raising Children to Thrive in Treacherous Times offers examples of learning events at each stage that point the way for adults to help children thrive in a world of change. These events are presented in the richness of their contexts and unfolding\, rather than as dry results of controlled data gathering procedures. The events recorded here are based on the author’s extensive experience working directly with children as a parent\, teacher\, principal and policy maker. Drawing on the best of psychological and educational research\, Dr. De Jonghe sets these exemplary events in a vigorous theoretical foundation and proposes specific strategies for success. Her recommendations have relevance not only for parents but also for teachers\, principals\, and educational policy makers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConversation Series Outline\n\n\n\nTakes place on Saturdays at 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Pacific\, from March 18th thru April 22nd \n\n\n\n\nSession 1: March 18: Introduction: Using events in context to inform theory; Whitehead’s Aims of Education in relation to his philosophy of process\n\n\n\nSession 2: March 25: The Rhythm of Education: Romance\n\n\n\nSession 3: April 1: The Rhythm of Education: Precision\n\n\n\nSession 4: April 15: The Rhythm of Education: Generalization\n\n\n\nSession 5: April 22: Conclusion: Using Process Philosophy to Help Meet the Challenges of Our Times\n\n\n\n\nEach session will begin with a talk and slide presentation by Dr. De Jonghe\, then follow with two or three respondents for comment\, critique\, and elaboration\, after which we will open for exploratory discussion by all attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Change is constant\, endemic and necessary.”—Drew Gilpin Faust \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLynn De Jonghe’s career in progressive education has spanned more than forty years.  She served as the founding Head of East Bay Sierra School\, which later merged with another school to form Prospect Sierra School\, to become one of the preeminent schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. Prior to her work in independent schools\, Lynn spent fifteen years in public education administering federal funds to innovative programs\, advocating for project learning as an alternative to textbooks\, and pushing for integration in Massachusetts schools. She received her BA degree in History from Harvard University and a MS in Library Science from Simmons College before completing her PhD in Education at Cornell University.  Her doctoral work on children’s problem solving led her to push for challenging educational programs that encourage all students to pursue learning in depth and to use problem solving skills\, collaborative learning\, and exploration of values in an integrated curriculum. Her work in philosophy centers on the social methodology of scientific research programs and the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. She is a member of the Philosophy of Education Society and serves on the advisory committee of the Cobb Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat and receive the Zoom information\, click the Going button and enter your name and email.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Process Mysticism
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from his latest book\, Process Mysticism\, Dan Dombrowski will offer a process philosophical approach to mysticism or religious experience. “Mysticism” can refer to either direct experience of God or the claim that such experience is ineffable and both senses of the term will be analyzed. In this Pop-Up\, Dan will use the process philosophies of Charles Hartshorne\, Alfred North Whitehead\, and Henri Bergson to explore this subject. His aim is not so much to demonstrate that such experiences are true or veridical as it is to understand\, in a William Jamesian fashion\, how they could be possible and not contradict the concept of God held by philosophers and theologians.  \n\n\n\nDan’s presentation will touch on divine world-inclusiveness\, ideal power and tragedy\, the ontological argument\, asceticism and the via negativa\, divine visions and voices\, and the aesthetics and ethics of mysticism. With an ecumenical approach\, Dan will attempt to illuminate mystical experiences as they occur around the world in different religious traditions\, while claiming familiarity only with the Abrahamic religions. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following:
