New section, created March 9, 2023, on the Organicist philosophical and metaphysical approach.

• Before the victory of the modernist mindset of separation and atomization, the Renaissance had attempted the construction of a participatory worldview, which Loren Goldner calls the Cosmobiological Tradition.

• Robert Hanna and Otto Paans, relate a similar trajectory of philosophy under the name of Organicism. Prominent formulations of this philosophy come from philosophers like Edmund Husserl, Henri Bergson, but especially the process philosophy of Whitehead.

• We also include attention to non-European trends such as the Organic Marxism in China, which seeks a blend of both traditional and modern Chinese philosophy (i.e. Confucianism, Taoism but also Open Marxism.

• Given the orientation of this wiki towards peer to peer and commons-oriented relational logics, this section will also cover Relational philosophies.

As usual, listing in this wiki is done under a philosophy of pluralistic curation and does not mean an endorsement. However, we do feel that the Organicist tradition is the most compatible approach to a relational philosophy in harmony with our commons approach.

Essentially, what binds the elements here together is the critique of the Cartesian and mechanistic worldview, and the Eight_Core_Commitments_of_Mainstream_Contemporary_Western_Metaphysics.
