In an era marked by ecological instability, technological acceleration, and cultural fragmentation, Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy offers a unique and urgently needed framework for rethinking education, cultural practice, and the social sciences. Whitehead’s insistence that “there is only one subject matter for education, and that is Life in all its manifestations” invites us to reconsider the pedagogical imagination from the ground up—ecologically, relationally, and cosmologically. This issue of Folia Philosophica seeks contributions that explore how processual thinking can transform our understanding of learning, teaching, creativity, and cultural inquiry.
Whitehead’s philosophy of organism opens possibilities for reshaping educational environments, reimagining cultural participation, and developing forms of knowledge attuned to becoming rather than static order. We especially welcome papers inspired by recent scholarly work that “interweaves” Whitehead’s processual concepts into contemporary humanities and social sciences, renewing debates on how learning relates to creativity, perception, embodiment, experience, and the complex dynamics of growth. Contributors are invited to reflect on how process thought enables a metamorphosis of pedagogy at a moment in history when education is increasingly shaped by technological reductionism and systemic pressures detached from life itself.
