[MD] A fly in the MOQ ointment

[Horse]

Hi John

Yeah - process philosophy is interesting. I've been poking about at it 
for a while now, because of the relationship to MoQ, and have found a 
couple of books on it by Nicholas Rescher. Both of them are introductory 
texts (one step up from an idiot's guide!) and are pegged for the summer 
reading season. I also found a book by C. E. M. Joad (Guide to 
Philosophy) which has some very interesting looking texts on metaphysics 
- including a general outline of A.N. Whitehead's ideas. Not a huge 
amount on Whitehead but it seems accessible - unlike Whiteheads own texts!
Anyway, I'm glad you found the process stuff interesting.

Cheers
