Process philosophy claims mind and nature share one substance of events

Evidence

According to this view, the ultimate constituents of the universe and everything in it are events or processes which are continually unfolding or perishing: there is no great gulf between the human mind and nature. For Cobb and Griffin ‘Process philosophy sees human experience as a high level exemplification of reality in general’ (Cobb and Griffin 1976:13). Process philosophy argues that scientific understandings of submicroscopic matter show that mind and nature are of the same stuff or substance, and that mind is matterlike and matter mindlike. — Val Plumwood, Feminism and the Mastery of Nature, 480
