Abstract

The paper attempts to define an epistemology of process as a basis for the development of expressive and creative action. Five conditions of process are identified-unstructured action, change, projectability, the situation, the abstract field-and their behavioral implications are discussed. Finally, a methodology for the personal use of process is presented.
