In the vast history of ideas, there exists a dynamic tension between a narrow focus on things as separate and unchanging (static thinking), and a broader focus on their relational and always-changing contexts (process thinking). Drawing from process philosophy, this book develops a “nested” approach to these two modes of thought, iteratively bringing static perspectives into relational-process contexts, positing this “static-process framework” as a key to reimagining peaceful and sustainable futures. This chapter elaborates the practice of process thinking, articulating conceptualises tensions between two modes of thought—“static thinking” and “process thinking”—which co-exist in almost every area of human life. This chapter demonstrates the philosophical consistency and coherency of this tool, and establishes the primacy of process in enabling balanced thinking. It goes on to examine the correlation between this framework and contemporary theoretical propositions in neuroscience regarding different functions of the brain’s hemispheres, using this as an analogy to illustrate the relationship between static thinking and process thinking (McGilchrist’s extensive review of the latest research in neuroscience indicates a potential biologically evolved foundation to the philosophy and practice of the theory of process and static thinking developed and applied in this book. Some scientists critique research into left and right brains and the linking of biological patterns to social sciences. To avoid such distractions from my argument I treat the left and right brain as an analogy with the hint of embodied reality). Linking understandings of the two modes of thought with philosophies of peace education, cultivating “process literacy” is proposed as essential to learning for peace. Examples of static and process education practices illustrate the application of the static-process framework. These practices are then evaluated from a dual peace and process perspective, with a view to learning for peace. This chapter establishes process thinking as a balanced mode of thought for peace, and lays the conceptual foundations for the book chapters to follow.
