John Boswell Cobb, Jr. is an American theologian, philosopher, and environmentalist. Cobb is often regarded as the preeminent scholar in the field of process philosophy and process theology, the school of thought associated with the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead.[4] Cobb is the author of more than fifty books.[5] In 2014, Cobb was elected to the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[6]
A unifying theme of Cobb's work is his emphasis on ecological interdependence—the idea that every part of the ecosystem is reliant on all the other parts. Cobb has argued that humanity's most urgent task is to preserve the world on which it lives and depends,[7] an idea which his primary influence, Whitehead, described as "world-loyalty".[8]
