Process Pluralism: Chinese Thought on the Harmony of Diversity by Zhihe Wang (review)

Process Pluralism: Chinese Thought on the Harmony of Diversity by Zhihe Wang (review) BOOK REVIEWS Process Pluralism: Chinese Thought on the Harmony of Diversity. Zhihe Wang. Ontos Verlag Process Thought series, edited by Nicholas Rescher, Johanna Seibt, and Michel Weber. Frankfurt: Ontos Verlag, 2012.

(Reviewed by Bob Mesle, Graceland University) Zhihe Wang (Wang Zhihe in Chinese order) is the primary mover of process thought in China today. While John B.

At my last count, there were six “Whitehead Wisdom Education Kindergartens” in Beijing.
