在纯粹过程与纯粹实体理论之间提出一条中间路径,基于亚里士多德和怀特海的本体论,区分变化与生成,并引入潜能-现实与活动-关系性作为更少概念负担且更具经验相关性的分析框架。

Abstract

In this article, I propose a middle way between current process and substance theorizing as I argue that both ‘pure’ views are fraught with theoretical problems. I base my proposal on the ontologies of Aristotle and A.N. Whitehead, who both maintain that being and becoming are equally important for a comprehensive analysis of change processes. Drawing on their insights, I develop a conceptual frame that distinguishes between change and becoming, and proposes to use the pairs of potentiality-actuality and activity-relationality as notions that are less fraught with conceptual baggage and more relevant empirically than the distinction between substance and process.
