A vigorous and wideranging defense of Hartshornes neoclassical metaphysics of creative freedom.Charles Hartshorne, one of the premier metaphysicians of the twentieth century, surmised that Creative Experiencing: A Philosophy of Freedom made his contribution to technical philosophy essentially complete. Found among his papers, this book combines five chapters published here for the first time with revisions and expansions of previously published material. Hartshorne articulates and defends his neoclassical metaphysics as an enterprise related to but independent of empirical science, addressing a variety of topics, including the problem of other minds (including nonhuman ones), the competencies of science, the nature of God, the meaning of modal terms, the ontological status of universals, and the metaphysical grounding of political freedom. While Hartshorne is widely known as a process philosopher, Creative Experiencing also shows him in dialogue with the wider currents of both analytic philosophy and phenomenology. The book includes his clearest account of his appropriation of phenomenology, the most succinct presentation of his analysis of times asymmetry and its relation to causality, and his fullest statement concerning the meaning of future tense statements.This book truly is a testament to Hartshornes metaphysical genius I would recommend this book to those looking to expand their knowledge of process philosophy visvis studies in Whitehead, or more generally to anyone simply looking to master the essentials of Hartshorne. Leon Niemoczynski, American Journal of Theology and PhilosophyAlthough this book is addressed to other philosophers, it is written in clear and lucid prose, accessible to nontechnical readers. Literature and TheologyOne does not have to be a follower of Hartshorne, nor even a process philosopher, to benefit from reading this last metaphysical testament by one of Americas most distinguished thinkers. George Allan, author of Higher Education in the Making: Pragmatism, Whitehead, and the Canon
