Summary/Abstract: Three issues of yci&ski’s philosophy are inspired by the process philosophy of A.N. Whitehead’s and his followers: (i) a comprehension of event-dynamic structure of nature as a creative process towards novelty, (ii) a link between the rationality field hypothesis and Whitehead’s concepts of eternal objects and potentiality, (iii) a panentheistic idea of God that emerges from the theory of God’s two natures (aspects). Starting from an analysis of the ontic structure of nature and heading for a grasp of the world’s immanent aspect of God, yci&ski follows the neoclassical path of natural theology that is close to processualism. A discovering of transcendent God, that reveals himself in natural processes as the rationality field, brings important consequences for an explanation of God’s attributes and His relation to relatively autonomous creatures. Multithreaded processual inspirations enable us to see those aspects of yci&ski’s philosophy and theology in a broad metaphysical context.
