 In short, analytical process philosophy has worked out concepts and theories of its own, however pedestrian and patchwork, as an alternative to Whitehead’s sophisticated system of categories, and there is a multitude of approaches within analytical process ontology. Besides different classifications of occurrences and different ontological characterizations of processes, there appear to be two research lines, one with focus on the role of processes in the philosophy of time, action, or experience (see e.g. the work of Antony Galton, Rowland Stout, and Helen Steward), and one with focus on the role of processes in scientific reasoning (see section 4 below). Despite all differences in constructive detail, however, Whiteheadian and non-Whiteheadian process philosophy both recommend themselves as gateways to renovating philosophical discourse by deconstructing traditional dichotomies. Here are just a few of the topics where processists promise philosophical advance.
