The becoming as processuality at Constantin Noica

How is reversibility possible in the logical model of determinations

Summary/Abstract: My aim in this paper is to try to offer an exercise of comparative philosophy: I compare Whitehead’s metaphysics proposed in Process and Reality with Noica’s metaphysical project developed in The Becoming within Being. I also try to test Noica’s ontological model with the help of some scientific ideas, first of all, that of irreversibility. I suggest that the two philosophers developed a new model of Being and that Noica’s new concepts, like ontological precarities or becomance (translation proposed by Alistair Ian Blyth for “deveninţă”), offered new insights into metaphysics.
