This is the most important book published in the…realms of science and philosophy since Descartes’s Discourse on Method.”

– Herbert Read, Critic and Philosopher Written by one of the most respected and readable modern philosophers, this volume is a study of the effect of science and belief in individualism on philosophy in the last three centuries as well as a brilliant presentation of Whitehead’s own great contribution to the 20th century
–his philosophy of organism. Alfred North Whitehead, one of the deans of 20th century philosophy, was born in England, graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge, taught at Imperial Colleges in England, and then at Harvard University from 1924 to his death in 1947. He is the author of Adventures of Ideas, and The Aims of Education.

Alfred North Whitehead

Alfred North Whitehead OM FRS FBA (15 February 1861 – 30 December 1947) was an English mathematician and philosopher. He created the philosophical school known as process philosophy,[2] which has been applied in a wide variety of disciplines, including ecology, theology, education, physics, biology, economics, and psychology. In his early career Whitehead wrote primarily on mathematics, logic, and physics. He wrote the three-volume Principia Mathematica (1910–1913), with his former student Bertrand Russell. Principia Mathematica is considered one of the twentieth century's most important works in mathematical logic, and placed 23rd in a list of the top 100 English-language nonfiction books of the twentieth century by Modern Library.[3] Beginning in the late 1910s and early 1920s, Whitehead gradually turned his attention from mathematics to philosophy of science, and finally to metaphysics. He developed a comprehensive metaphysical system which radically departed from most of Western philosophy. Whitehead argued that reality consists of processes rather than material objects, and that processes are best defined by their relations with other processes, thus rejecting the theory that reality is fundamentally constructed by bits of matter that exist independently of one another.[4] Whitehead's philosophical works – particularly Process and Reality – are regarded as the foundational texts of process philosophy. Whitehead's process philosophy argues that "there is urgency in coming to see the world as a web of interrelated processes of which we are integral parts, so that all of our choices and actions have consequences for the world around us."[4] For this reason, one of the most promising applications of Whitehead's thought in the 21st century has been in the area of ecological civilization and environmental ethics pioneered by John B. Cobb.[5][6]
