Divided into five chapters, this splendid study pairs Whitehead's cosmology...with the theory of principle-material force credited to Y. Yulgok, the leading proponent of Korean Neo-Confucianism....Nicely structured, well-written, and timely, this is a book that should help explain the appeal and application of Whiteheadian process philosophy in non-Western contexts.
