Trayectoria
Cobb fue cofundador[1] y es el actual codirector del Centro de Estudios del Proceso, de la Escuela de Teología de Claremont, California.[2] Junto con el clérigo episcopal George Regas, organizó en 1996 la Unidad de los Cristianos Progresistas.[3] En 2014, Cobb fue elegido para la Academia Estadounidense de las Artes y las Ciencias.[4]
Un tema unificador de la obra de Cobb es su énfasis en la interdependencia ecológica, en la idea de que cada parte del ecosistema depende de todas las demás partes.[5] Ha sostenido que la tarea más urgente de la humanidad es preservar el mundo en el cual vive y del cual depende, una tesis que Alfred North Whitehead describe como "lealtad al mundo".[6]
