ABSTRACT
In the preceding chapter Goddess feminist understandings of cosmogony, cosmology
and nature were described and examined in order to clarify the ways by which
Goddess feminists conceive the fundamental organization of reality. By constructing
what may be termed a thealogy of nature, many Goddess feminist reality-claims and
metaphysical commitments were rendered explicit and presented so as to make their
coherence and plausibility accessible to future philosophical enquiry. This chapter
continues this process by explicating how metaphysical concepts and models of
becoming, rather than of being, are privileged by Goddess feminists.
