John Cobb, too, has discussed aspects
of the nature
of man, such as freedom, responsibility, and sin, from a Whiteheadian
point of view.151 Like existentialism, he writes, process thought makes
subjective categories central to the analysis
of man, and it understands subjectivity to be «in a
very important sense causa sui,» that is, self - determinative.
Therefore two prehensions may have the same spatio - temporal standpoint but still differ if the subjects in question differ in the unity
of their
subjective immediacies.73 But though in this he sides with Cobb, Ford faults Cobb on the
very point Wilcox raises.74 For while God, in Cobb's
view, is omnispatial, he is not omnitemporal.
