[CFP] Manuscrito: "Process Ontology and Metaphysics"

[CFP] Manuscrito: "Process Ontology and Metaphysics"

This special issue aims to nourish and further develop the contemporary debate about process ontology and metaphysics, especially within a "naturalist" framework. Particular attention will therefore be devoted to issues related to the discussion of naturalist process-based models in ontology and metaphysics as well as to the development of formal models for processes and the relationship between these models and the natural and social sciences. The special issue will therefore include works from various philosophical disciplines, such as (formal) ontology and metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, but not only.

We invite contributed papers dealing with the following topics:

- Ontology and metaphysics: limits and possibilities;

- Monism, dualism and the problem of naturalism;

- Emergence, Physicalism, and the causal model;

- Epistemology, cognition, and the mind-body problem;

- Processes in natural science: physics, chemistry, biology, and psychology;

- Formal models for processes.
