Kraus ; foreword by Robert Cummings Neville[electronic resource]New York :Fordham University Press,2019.1 online resource illustrations (black and white)American philosophy series ;no. 8Fordham scholarship onlinePreviously issued in print: 1997.0-8232-1795-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.This text styles itself as 'a Sherpa guide to Process and Reality, whose function is to assist the serious reader in grasping the meaning of the text and to prevent falls into misinterpretation.' Although originally published in 1925, 'Process and Reality' has perhaps even more relevance to the contemporary scene in physics, biology, psychology, and the social sciences than it had in the mid-twenties. Hence, its internal difficulty, its quasi-inaccessibility, is all the more tragic, since, unlike most metaphysical endeavours, it is capable of interpreting and unifying theories in the above sciences in terms of an organic world view, instead of selecting one theory as the paradigm and reducing all others to it. Because Alfred North Whitehead is so crucial to modern philosophy, this work plays an important role in making 'Process and Reality' accessible to a wider readership.American philosophy series ;no. 8.Fordham scholarship online.Metaphysics of ExperienceCosmologySciencePhilosophyProcess philosophyCosmology.SciencePhilosophy.Process philosophy.113Kraus Elizabeth M.1115816StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910524871203321The metaphysics of experience2642888UNINA
