I should also recommend David Bohm's 'Wholeness and the Implicate Order'-- it's basically Whiteheadian; process metaphysics and physics.
-
I had the good fortune to meet Bohm once (and witness a dinner-time philosophical debate between him and Varela). I remember his expressing his great admiration for Whitehead, and saying he thought Whitehead was much more important than Wittgenstein or Heiddeger

Also started reading it last week. Have you tried to metabolize Process and Reality yet?

I had a go at it years ago, when I was a grad student, and will look at it again. I also just reread Science and the Modern World. It's his writings on philosophy of science and philosophy of nature I like the most.

Yes, but I was making a different point about intrinsic natures vis-a-vis relationality. Furthermore, point of agreement don't suffice to justify Buddhist exceptionalism; after all, L and W have many more points of agreement with Christian philosophy (both were Christians!).
