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 reads a number of continental philosophers through this lens, and An Actology of the Given explores the concepts of the gift, givenness, and giving in the light of reality understood as action in changing patterns. Mark’s Gospel: An Actological Reading is what it says it is. An Actological Metaphysic is a systematic treatment of cosmology and of such concepts as truth, knowledge, causality, time, and space, to see what happens when they are understood actologically: that is, with reality understood as action in changing patterns; An Actological Theology similarly asks what Christian theology might look like if reality is understood as action in changing patterns; and A Multidisciplinary Actology fills some gaps by asking what a variety of sciences and humanities might look like actologically. This new book, An Actological Dogmatics, reads the Nicene Creed in an ordered actological fashion, to see what the detail of Christian doctrine might look like if God, the universe, and ourselves were to be understood as action in changing patterns.
