What about these ?
Searching for possible sources of synthetic-aprioritical inspiration, I found two areas of philosophy which are boradly contemporary with LP and have strong links (of opposition) to it.
The first one is the neo-Hegelianism of F.H. Bradley and the other is the so called process philosophy of A.N. Witehead. The first one was apparently the dominant school in english-speaking philosophy before Russell and the "linguistic turn" of the early Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle, which were largely a rebellious reaction against it. The second has had little impact in philosophy itself but has fueled an important current of modern theology (so called process theology). F. Tipler's Omega Point Theory makes numerous references to it.
I find none of them satisfactory, though I feel they both contain interesting ideas (in particular the second one). What do you think ?

The extremely complex logic of CS Peirce and Josiah Royce are also good places to look for process philosophies - basically, logic built on the notion of a continuum. (No one has fully worked out Royce's System Sigma yet, although many believe it to be a completely new and consistent logical system). Both of them are often lumped in with Whitehead because they all started from American Pragmatism.
(I wish I had time to read all of the backlog of this discussion!)
