Hello Bobbuonaccorsi,

I located the  Wall Street Journal article by Daniel J.  Boorstin, titled: 

 ?A World of New Questions: From ?Why?? to ?How???  The Wall Street Journal 

This article was published on June 22, 1999.

A preview of this article is available here:

I found a free copy of this article as well.
http://roundtable.truck.net/archive/o_t__t_12221__how.html

Here are some relevant excerpts where the terms "process philosophy"
and ?creative process? are mentioned

?In the course of a few centuries the sciences had been transformed into an 
ever-growing catalog of new realms of questions. And a whole new view of 
the role of the scientist was encouraging and impelling the sciences. This was 
to be expressed in what came to be known as a "process philosophy."

 (?)

?To meet this challenge,  Henri Bergson wrote his eloquent "Creative
Evolution" (1907), in which he  denied that evolution was a purely
mechanistic process. Instead, he saw  evolution activated by a
creative inner experience. This he called the "elan  vital," or vital
spirit -- the power of life to overcome fixed and rigid forms. So, for
Bergson, evolution itself was a living creative process.?

(?)

?No one expressed the spirit of this modern process philosophy better than 
Albert Einstein (1879-1955). In "Religion and Science" (1930), Einstein wrote: 
"The individual feels the futility of human desires and aims and the sublimity 
and marvelous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the world 
of thought.?
