About this book

Asks if reality is simply static, or dynamic and relational

Establishes and develops the idea of dynamic realism in contrast to dynamic/temporal/powers ontologies developed both in the analytic and continental tradition
Establishes and develops engaged experience
Re-interprets and develops the ideas of adequacy and correlation
Engages debates on the new forms of metaphysical thought that are currently emerging in the continental tradition
Addresses ideas from biology and physics
Argues for shared ground between process philosophy and phenomenology
Uses ancient Greek thought to examine contemporary issues in new ways

Philosophy has traditionally considered reality as a set of static objects. Tina Röck transcends this understanding to explore the realistic potential of relational and dynamic ontology. These explorations are both complex and problematic as we attempt to reconceptualise being, truth and knowledge as processual.

To navigate this thinking, Röck takes a new phenomenological path into a realism that discloses the world as temporal and relational, without dismissing the epistemological difficulties surrounding genuine change. A fundamental challenge to outdated ways of thinking in our rapid, interconnected world, this book provides a provocative and contemporary understanding of our temporal reality.
