Aspects of Whitehead's Philosophy of Organism

Alfred North Whitehead's (1861–1947) "Philosophy of Organism" offers an important, indeed fundamental, metaphysical doctrine. It is the product of a long adventure ofideas and has many complementary aspects. Lire la suite

The present book does not claim to achieve a complete description of all the aspects of the late Whitehead's worldview. Its aim is rather to stress some specific features of his teachings, such as his views concerning rationality, dynamic holism, things and objects, events, anticipation, creativity, nature, organism, and life.
This book should be useful not only for process philosophers, but also for all scholars who are interested in the development of process philosophical ideas.
