Abstract

This article speaks to contemporary women and men, who both suffer from gender issues such as disconnection, separation, oppression … and who forever wait for a so-called “tomorrow.” Through comparing process thought and Chinese philosophy, my study analyzes how process feminism synthesizes our demands for interconnection and how it alerts our narrow desires in seeking “a way out.” I further challenge a fundamental weakness in this genre of Whitehead’s organic multiplicity by contributing “creative harmony” of yin and yang in the Yijing cosmology. This contribution offers process feminism a humanistic “creative creativity,” which avoids the oversight in Whiteheadian philosophy of organism and therefore prospects that the mutual connectivity in Chinese cosmology is “a way through” the actual practicability of both men and women, who share a common goal.
