Overview
This work examines the philosophies and theologies of three thinkers - Chu Hsi, Alfred North Whitehead, and Robert C. Neville - separated by time, space, and culture. In so doing John H. Berthrong provides a suggestive and successful comparison of creativity as a cross-cultural theme while introducing Neo-Confucianism as a sophisticated dialogue partner with modern Western speculative philosophy and theology.Editorials

Berthrong (theology, Boston U.), in response and reaction to the criticisms of Robert Neville, uses the Chinese Neo-Confucian thought of Chu Hsi to demonstrate how creativity can be re-integrated into Alfred North Whitehead's process discourse as creative synthesis. He treats Hsi's work as an earlier East Asian form of process thought, and thus creates a cross-cultural examination, combining material from different cultures and different times, along with elements of hermeneutic, historical, philosophic, and theological analysis and critique.
