The Harvard Lectures of Alfred North Whitehead merits critical
acclaim in two areas. Its commitment to the editorial handling of
the transcripts is consistent and thorough, which is a true mark of
scholarship. On the part of scientific relevance, it provides
context to the diverse lines of thought of a highly nuanced thinker
whose interdisciplinary background is difficult to understand
otherwise ... This start bodes well for what is to come.--Aljoscha
Berve, University of Dusseldorf "Transactions of the Charles S.
Peirce Society: A Quarterly Journal in American Philosophy "
These lectures are an extremely important tool for scholars who
would like to explore the creative way Alfred North Whitehead gave
form to his philosophical investigations and ideas ... This book is
like an immense laboratory of ideas concerning a great number of
issues. --Giacomo Borbone, Catania University "Philosophy in Review
"
This volume is an indispensable asset for any Whitehead scholar.
The book shall also prove important for people interested in the
history of the philosophy of science and the history of philosophy
generally, since it tracks many unexpected parallels between
Whitehead's specific outlook and the philosophies of Descartes and
Spinoza, Leibniz and Kant, Russell and Wittgenstein, Husserl and
Bergson. Last but not least, it documents a significant turning
point in the philosophical development of one of the most important
thinkers of 20th century. --Rosen Lutskanov, Bulgarian Academy of
Science "Balkan Journal of Philosophy "
