Biography Of Alfred North Whitehead
A biography of alfred north whitehead Pioneer of Process Philosophy.
http://alfrednorthwhitehead.wwwhubs.com/

Extractions: Pioneer of Process Philosophy Whitehead's distinction rests upon his contributions to mathematics and logic, the philosophy of science, and the study of metaphysics. In the field of mathematics Whitehead extended the range of algebraic procedures and, in collaboration with Bertrand Russell, wrote Principia Mathematica Whitehead's life is often described as having three distinct phases roughly corresponding to his academic positions, and his influence can be felt in all three areasthat of a mathematician and logician (Trinity1884-1910), a philosopher of science (London 1910-1924) and a philosopher of metaphysics (Harvard from 1924 onward). During this latter period he developed a comprehensive metaphysical system which has come to be known as Process Philosophy. In contrast to traditional philosophies, he asserted the essential inter-relationship of matter, space, and time; that objects may be understood as a series of events and processes. This concept was elaborated further in his book Process and Reality (1929) to assert that the process of becoming, what he calls an actual occasion, rather than substance, constituted the fundamental metaphysical constituent of the universe. This was the genesis of the school of Process Philosophy which later influenced what has become to be known as

Extractions: Bertrand Russell Whitehead, Alfred North Whitehead, Alfred North (1861-1947), British mathematician and metaphysician, generally recognized as one of the greatest 20th-century philosophers. Born in Ramsgate, Kent, he was educated at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, where he taught mathematics from 1885 to 1911. He also taught at the University of London and Harvard University. A brilliant theoretical mathematician, Whitehead also had a deep knowledge of philosophy and literature. He studied the foundations of mathematics and the philosophy of science, and he developed symbolic logic. He collaborated with British mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell to write the three-volume Principia Mathematica (1910-1913), one of the world's greatest works on logic and mathematics. Whitehead explored and explained fundamental natural concepts in scientific terms in order to formulate a philosophy of natural science. He did this by examining concepts that, although acceptable to the pure scientist as unexplained hypotheses, had to be explained and verified through his method of philosophical analysis. In his later work Whitehead studied

Extractions: Ideas won't k e e p something must be d o n e about them." ~ Alfred North Whitehead Art flourishes where there is a sense of adventure, a sense of nothing having been done before, of complete freedom to experiment; but when caution comes in you get repetition, and repetition is the death of art. Philosophy asks the simple question: What is it all about? One main factor in the upward trend of animal life has been the power of wandering. Religion is what the individual does with his own solitariness. Everything of importance has been seen by someone who did not discover it. A clash of doctrines is not a disaster it is an opportunity We think in generalities, but we live in detail. Seek simplicity but distrust it. Every really new idea looks crazy at first. Education with inert ideas is not only useless, it is above all things harmful. Periods of tranquility are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up. It requires a very unusual mind to make an analysis of the obvious. Art flourishes when there is a sense of adventure.

Extractions: Inicio Buscador Las figuras clave de la historia Reportajes Los protagonistas de la actualidad Alfred North Whitehead (Ramsgate, 1861 - Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1947) Filósofo y matemático inglés. Fue profesor en la University College de Londres, en el Imperial College of Science and Technology de Kensington y en el Trinity College de Cambridge. Desempeñó, también, importantes cargos administrativos y pedagógicos, cuya experiencia recogió en la obra Los fines de la educación y otros ensayos (1924). En 1924 enseñó en Harvard, donde influyó sobre G. H. Mead, Dewey, Quine y, en general, sobre el neorrealismo americano. La primera obra de Whitehead fue Tratado de álgebra universal (1893), que constituye una vuelta en clave moderna al ideal leibniziano de la fundamentación de todas las ciencias en el cálculo lógico. De aquí el proyecto elaborado con Russell, Principia Mathematica (tres vols., 1910-13), obra fundamental en la que la matemática se remite enteramente a la lógica. En la segunda fase de su pensamiento, Whitehead aborda la revisión crítica del concepto clásico de mundo material, fundado aún sobre principios newtonianos: La organización del pensamiento Investigaciones sobre el principio del conocimiento natural El concepto de la naturaleza El principio de la relatividad (1922, donde desarrolla en sentido científico el principio de la relatividad de Einstein).

Extractions: So far as concerns philosophy only a selected group can be explicitly mentioned. There is no point in endeavouring to force the interpretations of divergent philosophers into a vague agreement. What is important is that the scheme of interpretation here adopted can claim for each of its main positions the express authority of one, or the other, of some supreme master of thought - Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant. But ultimately nothing rests on authority; the final court of appeal is intrinsic reasonableness. The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato. I do not mean the systematic scheme of thought which scholars have doubtfully extracted from his writings. I allude to the wealth of general ideas scattered through them

His Science and the Modern World Process and Reality in 1929 and his Adventures of Ideas in 1933. The first of these books gives a comprehensive and multi-layered categoreal system of internal and external relations that analyzes the logic of becoming an extension within the context of a solution to the problem of the one and the many, while also providing a ground for his philosophy of nature. The second is an outline of a philosophy of history and culture within the framework of his metaphysical scheme. 1. Biography Alfred North Whitehead was born on February 15 th In 1891, when he was thirty years of age, Whitehead married Evelyn Wade. Evelyn was in every respect the perfect wife and partner for Alfred. While not conventionally intellectual, Evelyn was still an extremely bright woman, fiercely protective of Alfred and his work, and a true home-maker in the finest sense of the term. Although Evelyn herself was never fully accepted into the social structures of Cambridge society, she always ensured that Alfred lived in a comfortable, tastefully appointed home, and saw to it that he had the space and opportunity to entertain fellow scholars and other Cambrians in a fashion that always reflected well upon the mathematician.

BRIEF EXCERPTS FROM ALFRED NORTH WHITEHEAD AND CHARLES HARTSHORNE
Collection of quotes from the two eminent process philosophers.
http://www.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: Executive summary: Metaphysical mathematician Mathematician, philosopher, and metaphysician Alfred North Whitehead is chiefly remembered for his three volume Principia Mathematica (co-authored with Bertrand Russell ), and for his development of process philosophy Process philosophy essentially states that: "Mathematical physics presumes in the first place an electromagnetic field of activity pervading space and time. The laws which condition this field are nothing else than the conditions observed by the general activity of the flux of the world, as it individualises itself in the events." Thus "nature is a structure of evolving processes. The reality is the process." Or to put it another way: process, rather than substance, should be taken as the fundamental metaphysical constituent of the world. Born in Ramsgate, England in 1861, the youngest of four children, Alfred Whitehead was homeschooled by his father (an Anglican minister) until he was 14 years old. In 1875 he left home to attend Sherbourne Independent School where he showed a talent for mathematics. And in 1880 he entered Trinity College, Cambridge in 1880 on a mathematics scholarship. Five years later he was a teacher at Trinity College and five years later still Bertrand Russell arrived as a student. Russell, who later asserted that "Whitehead was extraordinarily perfect as a teacher" adopted Whitehead as his mentor. Although the two had each already churned out their own separate and significant work (Whitehead was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1903 as for his work on universal algebra), they were together drawn by their overlapping areas of interest and research to jointly produce the groundbreaking work on the foundations of mathematics the now famous

http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Whitehead.html

Extractions: Version for printing Alfred North Whitehead 's father, also named Alfred Whitehead, was an Anglican clergyman from Ramsgate. He is said to have been an upright man with countless friends and Alfred North Whitehead's son, North Whitehead, wrote of his grandfather:- He never asked a favour of anyone and never shirked what he considered to be a duty, but it cannot be said that he spent more time absorbing the lessons of the New Testament than was necessitated by his calling. Canon Alfred Whitehead, the mathematician's father, married Maria Sarah Buckmaster, who came from London, on 20 December 1851. She is described as (see [ ... an unimaginative, small minded woman with some wit but no sense of humour. Alfred and Maria Whitehead had four children, with Alfred North Whitehead as the youngest of the family. He had two brother who were seven and eight years older than he was, and a sister who was two years older. Whitehead was always treated by his parents as the baby of the family and, rather surprisingly, they considered him a sickly and frail child when it appears that this was not the case. Whitehead was not sent to primary school because his parents thought that he was too delicate, so he was taught at home by his father until he was 14. Other than the usual childhood illnesses he was, despite his parents views, a healthy child. He received much affection from his father and brothers (but sadly little from his mother) and he seems to have had a childhood which was not unhappy, even though he was on his own a great deal and must have been somewhat lonely.

The first corresponds roughly with his time at Cambridge, from 1884 to 1910, during which he worked primarily on logic and mathematics. The second corresponds roughly with his time at London, from 1910 to 1924, during which he concentrated mainly on issues in the philosophy of science. The third corresponds roughly with his time at Harvard, from 1924 onward, during which he worked on more general issues in philosophy, including the development of a comprehensive metaphysical system which has come to be known as process philosophy.
