Process and Reality : An Essay in Cosmology

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Process and Reality' is a monumental work of speculative philosophy by Alfred North Whitehead, representing the definitive statement of his process metaphysics. In this profound 'Essay in Cosmology,' Whitehead seeks to construct a coherent, logical, and necessary system of general ideas that can interpret every element of our experience. He rejects traditional substance-based metaphysics in favor of an ontology centered on dynamic processes, 'actual entities,' and the interconnectedness of all things.The text explores the categories of existence, explanation, and obligation, providing a rigorous framework for understanding the nature of being and becoming. Whitehead introduces key concepts such as 'prehension,' the 'nexus,' and the 'primordial and consequent natures of God,' bridging the gap between science and philosophy. This work serves as the foundation for modern process philosophy and has influenced diverse fields including physics, biology, and ecology. 'Process and Reality' remains an essential read for those interested in the deep structures of reality, the relationship between the mind and the physical world, and the continuous evolution of the universe.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
