An Exploration of the Parallels Between African and Process Metaphysics

In this comparative work, Emmanuel Ofuasia argues that process metaphysical themes—such as becoming, relationality, and forces—are present in African philosophical traditions and other global sources predating Whitehead.

The book traces parallels and suggests process metaphysics was codified rather than originated by Whitehead, offering a metaphysics of force and becoming grounded in African sources.

It engages scholarship across history and philosophy to support intercultural dialogue and to challenge Eurocentric periodizations.

The volume aims to broaden the scope of process studies by including underexplored non-Western traditions.
