Beskrivning
Virginia Woolf’s Prose in Process: Prehension, Transition, Concrescence intervenes at the intersection of modernist aesthetics, process cosmology, and cognitive science. By initiating a distinct critical confluence among Woolf’s radical prose style, Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy of organism, and Jason Brown’s microgenetic theory, the monograph dismantles the static paradigms of substance philosophy to chart the active, unfolding generation of consciousness itself. Shifting the critical paradigm away from representationalist readings, the analysis demonstrates how Woolf’s narrative kinetics register the deep, pre-reflective microstructures of cognition – capturing the rhythmic pulsation of arising and perishing states before they collapse into processed representational stasis.

Recensioner i media

"Virginia Woolf’s Prose in Process tracks the multi-layered phases that generate a conscious act by uniting rich literary insight with process philosophy. Accomplishing a feat rare in contemporary scholarship, James Kearns advances a vital dialogue between brain processes and literature. The text establishes an uncompromisingly high standard for all future studies investigating cognitive theory and modernist aesthetics."— Jason Brown, author of The Microgenetic Theory of Mind and Brain: Selected Essays in Process Psychology.
