| T.E Burke provides a lucid introduction to one of the great
originals of modern philosophy. A.N Whitehead developed distinctive
ideas on many things: the nature of mathematics; the concepts
of science; the physical world; evolution; God. |
| After a long period of being respected but little read in
the philosophical world, Whitehead is now, half a century after
his death, coming increasingly into his own. His ideas are re-emerging
as notably relevant to contemporary concerns in fields as diverse
as theoretical physics, environmental studies and theology.
A primary object of this book is to present these ideas, not
just as relics from the past, but as potentially valuable tools
for contemporary thinking. |
