Rescher notes that, 'from the time of Aristotle, Western metaphysics has a marked bias in favor of things or substances'. Rescher argues that, 'process philosophy' is a doctrine based on ideas of process as a fundamental category of ontological description, implying that process is more fundamental, or at any rate not less fundamental than things for the purposes of ontological theory. Process philosophy is marked by an overall insistence of seeing process as an existential aspect of everything that exists.
