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. 410 0$aAmerican philosophy series ;$vno. 8. 410 0$aFordham scholarship online. 517 $aMetaphysics of Experience 606 $aCosmology 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aProcess philosophy 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aProcess philosophy. 676 $a113 700 $aKraus$b Elizabeth M.$01115816 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524871203321 996 $aThe metaphysics of experience$92642888 997 $aUNINA
