Participatory Process Monism: A Philosophical Framework - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Why does consciousness exist? How does mind relate to matter? And can the insights of classical Islamic philosophy illuminate problems that have confounded Western thought for centuries?
Participatory Process Monism offers a groundbreaking philosophical framework that integrates the profound metaphysical resources of Islamic intellectual traditions—Ashʿarite occasionalism, Mullā Ṣadrā's existential process philosophy, and Ibn ʿArabī's theophanic ontology—with contemporary consciousness studies, quantum mechanics, and systems biology.
Hakim Ibn Adam argues that reality is fundamentally processual, experiential, and participatory: consciousness is not an inexplicable emergence from dead matter but an ontological primitive woven into the fabric of existence itself. This dual-aspect monism dissolves the Cartesian impasse while preserving both scientific rigour and the depths of contemplative insight.
Essential reading for philosophers of mind, scholars of Islamic thought, and anyone seeking a coherent vision that honours both the deliverances of science and the testimony of lived experience.
