The behavior of the world-process, he maintained, did not suggest guidance by a moral plan or purpose. ❋ Unknown (2006)
He rejected flatly the latter's [Hegel] view that these characteristics of the world-process indicated that it was the teleological unfolding of a design or Idea in the experience of an Absolute Mind or Spirit. ❋ Unknown (2006)
It was still the ideal, to let Reason rule; but Reason was now seen as embodied in the Universal Order, the recurrent cycle of world-process. ❋ AUSTIN FARRER (1968)
It is far more correct to speak of the dynamization of space rather than of the spatialization of time; the relativization of simultaneity means that “instanta - neous space,” that is, the class of simultaneously exist - ing events, cannot be unambiguously carved out of the four-dimensional world-process. ❋ MILI�� ��APEK (1968)
For instance, we represent the world-process as an eternal change between the qualitative homogeneity of fused masses of matter and their differentiated dispersion. ❋ Georg Simmel (1956)
He is neither pushing the world-process forward nor trying to drag it back, but on the other hand he is by no means ignoring it. ❋ Unknown (1940)
Give yourself over to the world-process, stop fighting against it or pretending that you control it; simply accept it, endure it, record it. ❋ Unknown (1940)
In his books one gets right away from the political animal and back to a viewpoint not only individualistic but completely passivethe view-point of a man who believes the world-process to be outside his control and who in any case hardly wishes to control it. ❋ Unknown (1940)
The traditional cultures, the social inheritances of ages of isolation, are now in a world-process of interaction and modification as a result of the rapidity and the impact of these modern means of the circulation of ideas and sentiments. ❋ Robert Ezra Park (1926)
The philosophical view of social and political evolution as a world-process, through revolutions formed in the matrices of economic conditions, at once limits and expands the scope of political economy. ❋ John Spargo (1921)
The system of Hegel (q.v.) has been called "logical pantheism", as it is constructed on the "dialectical" method; and "panlogismus", since it describes the entire world-process as the evolution of the Idea. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
Whether you speak of the world-process in general or any particular cruel phase of it, such as this war, you maintain that God chose, out of many conceivable ways, the one way that is marked by cruelty and suffering. ❋ Joseph McCabe (1911)
They justify the world-process through which we are struggling on the ground that it will, we hope, issue in a nobler order of things: of the war, in particular, that hope is entertained, and to the war, accordingly, this theory of justification is applied. ❋ Joseph McCabe (1911)
And this appalling calamity will induce many to take a more candid view of the world-process and conclude that, as far as the critical eye can see, man's world seems to be left entirely to his own efforts, to his own crimes and blunders and aspirations. ❋ Joseph McCabe (1911)
And just as we say of the world-process in general, that to build the sunnier lives of a remote generation on the sufferings of this and earlier generations implies a grave injustice to _us_, so we must say of the war. ❋ Joseph McCabe (1911)
It seems then that it is not the man who is lost or saved but human nature, and ultimately salvation becomes a world-process. ❋ 1862-1929 (1911)
To very many people it is a confirmation of the general impression they get from the world-process and the story of man: that these great forces deploy and interlace and build up and destroy without the slightest intervention from without. ❋ Joseph McCabe (1911)
This profound saying expresses the truth, which he seems often to forget, that the world-process must have a real value in God's sight -- that it is not a mere polarisation of the white radiance of eternity broken up by the imperfection of our vision. ❋ William Ralph Inge (1907)
