Process and Reality

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Process and Reality' is a seminal work of 20th-century philosophy that articulates Alfred North Whitehead's comprehensive system of speculative philosophy, often referred to as process philosophy. Based on his prestigious Gifford Lectures, the book presents a bold cosmology that seeks to reconcile the scientific understanding of the world with human experience and intuition. Whitehead develops a complex categorical scheme focused on 'actual entities' and 'prehensions,' arguing that the fundamental nature of reality is not static substance but dynamic, interrelated processes of becoming. The work is divided into several sections that explore the categoreal scheme, the analysis of perception, and the relationship between God and the world. By bridging the gap between physics and metaphysics, Whitehead offers a rigorous critique of traditional philosophy while proposing a new 'philosophy of organism.' This text remains a cornerstone for students of metaphysics, theology, and the history of ideas, challenging readers to rethink the structures of existence and the flow of time. 'Process and Reality' is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deep connections between science, nature, and the human spirit in the modern era. Artikel-Nr. 9781025927152
