Abstract
Explores the concept of "becoming" in modern thought as an alternative to the immanence-transcendence polarity so persistence in discussions of Western philosophy and theology. The modern conceptions of becoming are briefly worked out from three principal nodes: 1) Hegel, 2) Nietzsche/Heidegger, and 3) Whitehead. They are then applied to a more creative notion of ongoing becoming, a "beginning again", that, in its circular movement, suggests a possible "return to" or "returning of" God through a certain will to art.
