Why this name: “Reality and process”? Well, as we know, in the 20th century the contributions of physics, astrophysics, biology, etc., in the task of unraveling the ultimate nature of reality were enormous, philosophy and metaphysics in particular joined that conceptual tsunami with contributions from different philosophical currents of thought, but in particular the so-called "philosophy of process" was at the forefront of the new vision of reality: relational, dynamic and non-substantialist in the classical way. Alfred North Whitehead, from the United States, provided a "Metaphysics of the organism" with a categorical apparatus capable of coexisting with science and even completing its analyses. The capital work of the English philosopher and mathematician, Process and reality, contains his scientifically well-informed philosophical position. It is in honor of this foundational work that Reality and process is entitled in this way, making a nod to that milestone. The members of this research group guide our metaphysical thinking from a dynamic and complex vision of the world, but emphasizing the idea of ​​reality as the protagonist of the research, leaving open the consideration for various forms of dynamism, since the process is only one of the forms, not the only one. Hence the name. It is worth saying that, at present, it is developing its second season, and in this issue we present some results of the first. This first season has been driven by the reading of the book Dynamic Structure of Reality, Xavier Zubiri's main work, not to specialize in his thought but to get into the topics presented there and, with them, be able to give them a current, non-school treatment. , academically robust, critical and scientifically knowledgeable. Something unusual among expert scholars. This work was used as the common thread of our transdisciplinary dialogue carried out by more than one philosophical tendency and more than one branch of science. The objective has been to allow an authentic productive conversation between science and philosophy, leading to real contributions. Why X.Zubiri? Well, because the importance and relevance of the Spanish philosopher to think deeply about reality, accompanying current sciences, is unquestionable. I will mention just one example of the influence that Zubiri exerts on recognized philosophers of Whiteheadian processual lineage in our 21st century.
