Berthrong, John H.  Concerning Creativity: A Comparison of Chu Hsi, Whitehead, and Neville.  Albany: State University of New York Press, 1998.

Abstract

Creativity lies at the heart of the discourse of Chu Hsi (1130-1200) and Alfred North Whitehead. For both, creativity emerges as an attempt to illustrate the organic unity of the world without resorting to an appeal to a source for creativity beyond the concrete actuality of the cosmos. Subtle critics such as Robert C. Neville argue that process thought is fatally flawed because Whitehead separated creativity from the other crucial elements of his system. By interjecting the Chinese neo-Confucian synthesis of Chu Hsi, it is possible to show how creativity can be reintegrated into process discourse as creative synthesis.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
