More recently, Peter Elbow, in his book Writing Without Teachers, presents a very different view of the drafting stage in the writing process.

He describes his stance on the writing process, saying “ Writing is a way to end up thinking something you couldn ’ t have started out thinking .” According to Elbow, the best way to accomplish this is a series of drafts which come together to produce an emerging “ center of gravity ” that then translates into the main focus on the work.

Process theological thinkers are generally regarded in the West as unorthodox, but process philosophical thought paved the way for open theism, which sits more comfortably in the Evangelical Christian camp.

Influential to thinkers associated with Postmodernism are Heidegger's critique of the subject-object or sense-knowledge division implicit in Rationalism, Empiricism and Methodological Naturalism, his repudiation of the idea that facts exist outside or separately from the process of thinking and speaking them ( however, Heidegger is not specifically a Nominalist ), his related admission that the possibilities of philosophical and scientific discourse are wrapped up in the practices and expectations of a society and that concepts and fundamental constructs are the expression of a lived, historical exercise rather than simple derivations of external, apriori conditions independent from historical mind and changing experience ( see Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Heinrich von Kleist, Weltanschauung and Social Constructionism ), and his Instrumentalist and Negativist notion that Being ( and, by extension, reality ) is an action, method, tendency, possibility and question rather than a discreet, positive, identifiable state, answer or entity ( see also Process Philosophy, Dynamism, Instrumentalism, Pragmatism and Vitalism ).

Process theology or process thought is a school of thought influenced by the metaphysical process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead ( 1861 – 1947 ) and further developed by Charles Hartshorne ( 1897 – 2000 ).

C. Robert Mesle, in his book Process Theology, outlines three aspects of a process theology of liberation:

This resulted in the most famous work of process philosophy, Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality, 1929, a work which continues that begun by Hegel but describing a more complex and fluid dynamic ontology.

The process metaphysics elaborated in Process and Reality posits an ontology which is based on the two kinds of existence of entity, that of actual entity and that of abstract entity or abstraction.
