Depths As Yet Unspoken

Philosophy

“Roland Faber’s powerful new book Depths As Yet Unspoken brilliantly illuminates the long neglected mystical dimension of A. N. Whitehead’s process philosophy, where mysticism is ‘insight into depths as yet unspoken.’ Faber holds that the key to Whitehead’s mysticism is his concept of ‘mutual immanence’ as the interrelatedness of the theopoetic God, creativity, and the world. In this fascinating work Faber develops a groundbreaking creative synthesis of Whitehead’s process theology, Western mysticism, and Gilles Deleuze’s French poststructuralist vision of a rhyzomic chaosmos of infinite multiplicity in constant becoming. Faber’s book constitutes a major contribution to Whiteheadian scholarship.”
