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 endeavors, 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, The Metaphysics of Experience plays an important role in making Process and Reality accessible to a wider readership. 410 0$aAmerican philosophy series. 606 $aCosmology 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 676 $a113 700 $aKraus$b Elizabeth M.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01115816 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996354144903316 996 $aThe metaphysics of experience$92642888 997 $aUNISA
