Description: An actology--introduced by the first book in this series, Actology: Action, Change and Diversity in the Western Philosophical Tradition--understands reality as action in changing patterns. Actological Readings in Continental Philosophy read a number of continental philosophers through this lens. An Actology of the Given explored the concepts of the gift, givenness, and giving in the light of reality understood as action in changing patterns. An Actological Metaphysic treated a variety of metaphysical and cosmological concepts in the light of reality understood as action in changing patterns. An Actological Theology asked what Christian theology looks like when understood actologically. Mark's Gospel: An Actological Reading was what it says it is. This seventh book in the series, A Multidisciplinary Actology, fills some important gaps by understanding language, the humanities, ethics, mathematics, the natural sciences, the social sciences, psychology, politics, and organizational behavior actologically: that is, with reality understood as action in changing patterns.
