Andrew M. Davis

Andrew M. Davis is a process philosopher, theologian, and scholar of cosmological wonder. He is program director for the Center for Process Studies where he researches, writes, and organizes conferences on various aspects of process-relational thought. An advocate of metaphysics and meaning, he approaches philosophy as the endeavor to systematically think through what reality must be like because we are a part of it. He holds B.A. in Philosophy and Theology, an M.A. in Interreligious Studies, and a Ph.D. in Religion and Process Philosophy from Claremont School of Theology. An educator and advocate of cross-cultural knowledge and religious literacy, his studies have led him to a variety of religious contexts and communities around the world, including India, Israel-Palestine, and Europe. He received the 2013 Award for Excellence in Biblical Studies, the 2017 fellowship with FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) and the 2020 Presidential Award for Academic Excellence. He was recently nominated and elected as a fellow for the International Society of Science and Religion (ISSR). He is the author, editor, and co-editor of several books including "Mind, Value, and Cosmos: On the Relational Nature of Ultimacy" (2020, nominated for the ISSR 2022 Book Prize); "Nature In Process: Organic Proposals in Philosophy, Society and Religion" (2022); "Process Cosmology: New Integrations in Science and Philosophy" (2022);" Metaphysics of Exo-Life: Toward a Constructive Process Cosmotheology" (2023) and "Astrophilosophy, Exotheology, and Cosmic Religion: Extraterrestrial Life in a Process Universe" (forthcoming, 2023).
