Abstract

A distinct significance of Process philsophy is its concern about the feminity in the divinity, which is manifested in John Cobb and David Griffin's works.  Process feminist scholars contribute further in the articulation of feminist creativity, especially Catherine Keller's Face of the Deep and her recent dialogue with Taosim and postcolonial feminism.  The primordial and consequent natures of Process divinity could be viewed as parallel to the Ying-Yang of Taoism.  The interaction of male and female elements, the proactive and receptive dimensions, in the creative process is emphasized both in Taoism and Process philosophy.  However, this interaction between two opposites should not be viewed as static binary oppositions, but the postcolonial feminist in-between-ness in the creative process of becoming.  In the mutuality of the postcolonial process and through the mimicry with which the colonized imitates the colonizer and through permeation the colonizer also absorbs from the colonized, the identity forms of dynamically in the fluidity and hybridity of feminist creativity, a mulitiple creative synthesis attains as "many become one" (Whitehead), or better described as many become "many-one," which is suggested by Process feminism with its creative dialogue with Taoism and postcolonial theory.
