Extractions: At the age of fifteen he went to the ancient Sherborne school in southwest England. As "head boy" at the school, Whitehead supervised discipline outside the classroom. He participated in the group games then in fashion: cricket, football and fives. Despite these various activities Whitehead found time for private reading. The poetry of Wordsworth and Shelley attracted his special attention. He also read widely in the field of history. (Photo courtesy of the Harvard University Archives) Critique of Pure Reason ." (He remarks: "I was early disenchanted"). The rather humorous confessions of ignorance concerning Hegel which Whitehead was accustomed to make in his Harvard classroom, were due apparently to his first contacts with that gentleman. "I have never been able to read Hegel: I initiated my attempt by studying some remarks of his on mathematics which struck me as complete nonsense."

The Center For Process Studies - A Relational Worldview For The Common Good

Receive Email Announcements from the Center Purpose The Center for Process Studies is a faculty center of Claremont School of Theology, and affiliated with Claremont Graduate University. CPS seeks to promote the common good by means of the relational approach found in process thought. Process thought is based on the work of philosophers Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne, among others. Process helps to harmonize moral, aesthetic, and religious intuitions with scientific insights. It also grounds discussion between Eastern and Western religious and cultural traditions. Process thought offers an approach to the social, political, and economic order that brings issues of human justice together with a concern for ecology. Our wide range of interests includes multicultural, feminist, ecological, inter-religious, political, and economic concerns.

http://www.alfred.north.whitehead.com/ANW/WitWisdom/witwis9.htm

Extractions: The Wit and Wisdom of Alfred North Whitehead 9. Education The students are alive, and the purpose of education is to stimulate and guide their self-development. It follows as a corollary from this premise, that the teachers also should be alive with living thoughts. (A.E. p. v) Education is the acquisition of the art of the utilisation of knowledge. (A.E. p. 6) Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling. Scraps of information have nothing to do with it. A merely well informed man is the most useless bore on God's earth. What we should aim at producing is men who possess both culture and expert knowledge in some special direction. (A.E. p. 1) When one considers in its length and in its breadth the importance of this question of the education of the nation's young, the broken lives, the defeated hopes, the national failures, which result from the frivolous inertia with which it is treated, it is difficult to restrain within oneself a savage rage. In the conditions of modern life the rule absolute, the race which does not value trained intelligence is doomed. Not all your heroism, not all your social charm, not all your wit, not all your victories on land or at sea, can move back the finger of fate. (A.E. p. 22) It must never be forgotten that education is not a process of packing articles in a trunk. Such a simile is entirely inapplicable. It is, of course, a process completely of its own peculiar genus. Its nearest analogue is the assimilation of food by a living organism: and we ail know how necessary to health is palatable food under suitable conditions. (A.E. p. 51)

Extractions: Preface and Table of Contents Citation: Alfred North Whitehead. " Preface and Table of Contents". The Concept of Nature . Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (1920): v-ix. PREFACE THE contents of this book were originally delivered at Trinity College in the autumn of 1919 as the inaugural course of Tarner lectures. The Tarner lectureship is an occasional office founded by the liberality of Mr Edward Tarner. The duty of each of the successive holders of the post will be to deliver a course on 'the Philosophy of the Sciences and the Relations or Want of Relations between the different Departments of Knowledge.' The present book embodies the endeavour of the first lecturer of the series to fulfil his task. The chapters retain their original lecture form and remain as delivered with the exception of minor changes designed to remove obscurities of expression. The lecture form has the advantage of suggesting an audience with a definite mental background which it is the purpose of the lecture to modify in a specific way. In the presentation of a novel outlook with wide ramifications a single line of communications from premises to conclusions is not sufficient for intelligibility. Your audience will construe whatever you say into conformity with their pre-existing outlook. For this reason the first two chapters and the last two chapters are essential for intelligibility though they hardly add to the formal completeness of the exposition. Their function is to prevent the reader from bolting up side tracks in pursuit of misunderstandings. The same reason dictates my avoidance of the existing technical terminology of

http://websyte.com/alan/brief.htm

Extractions: CHARLES HARTSHORNE (Selection of quotations, slight simplifications of style, bolding of type, and material in brackets by Alan Anderson) Atomism , the belief that everything is made up of invisibly small, indivisible particles, was anticipated in the East by Jainism some time after 800 B.C.E., but Western atomism originated in ancient Greece with Leucippus and Democritus , as a mediating position between the views of Heraclitus , who maintained that everything is changing, and Parmenides , who held that change is impossible. In the early modern world, Galileo (1564-1642) and others revived atomism. Ordinarily, atomism is associated with materialism, but both science and philosophy have shown that the atomistic nature of reality need not be of a material nature, at least as matter usually is conceived. By the end of the 19th century, science had found that there are smaller units than the atom. The first of these to be discovered, by J. J. Thomson in 1897, was the electron. Energy is recognized as coming in momentarily-existing bursts or packets, quanta, discovered in 1900 by Max

Extractions: "A c l a s h of doctrines is n o t a disaster it is an opportunity ~ Alfred North Whitehead Mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) was born in Kent, England . The son of an Anglican clergyman, Whitehead had a special gift for mathematics as a child. He once said, "We think in generalities, but we live in detail." Whitehead attended Cambridge's Trinity College from 1880-1910. A scholar, fellow, and senior lecturer, this brilliant mathematician was a pioneer in the development of modern algebra. Ideas won't keep," he observed. "Something must be done about them." Professor Whitehead collaborated with his student Bertrand Russell on the three-volume Principia Mathematica (1910-13), a thorough examination of deductive logic that revolutionized math and philosophy. All mathematics , he said, could be derived from a few logical concepts. "Every really new idea looks crazy at first," Whitehouse once explained. In the latter years of his life, he wrote Process and Reality (1929) about process philosophy, which celebrated the changing universe. He taught philosophy at Harvard University where he continued to explore scientific and metaphysical theory.
