Bücher von Alfred North Whitehead

2024 Reprint of the 1925 Edition. Originally published in 1925, Alfred North Whitehead's Science and the Modern World was a groundbreaking and important book that redefined the concept of modern science. In emphasizing the position of science as a culturally connected activity, Whitehead anticipated arguments that would come to dominate the philosophy of science in the latter part of the twentieth century. Highly measured in its approach, the text moves through various periods in cultural history from the sixteenth century onwards and shows how the great scientific discoveries of these periods were intimately connected with a more general intellectual ferment. Throughout this narrative, philosophy is put forward as humanity's fundamental intellectual pursuit; a medium of change and reconfiguration from which all thought, scientific included, derives its strength.

2024 Reprint of the 1926 Edition. Whitehead was a prominent English mathematician and philosopher who co-authored the highly influential Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell. Religion in the Making, which originated in a series of four lectures delivered in King's Chapel, Boston, during February 1926, constitutes an exploration of the relationship between human nature and religion. In many ways a rejection of dogma, the text explores the connection between religious transformation and the transformation of knowledge. Through this approach, the reader is encouraged to develop a conception of faith that is at home with the changing nature of experience. The permanent aspect of religion is regarded as the apprehension of permanent elements that are reconcilable with this form of change. This concise and fascinating study will be of value to anyone with an interest in philosophy and theology.

Alfred North Whiteheads "Das Wesen der Natur" revolutioniert das Denken über den Umgang der Naturwissenschaften mit der Philosophie. In diesem Werk sucht er nach einer alternativen Antwort auf die Frage, wie sich die Natur beschreibt und versteht. Er erforscht die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Mathematik und Philosophie und stellt tiefschürfende Fragen über die Natur des Universums. Whitehead liefert Antworten, die zu weitreichenden Einsichten führen und die Welt der Wissenschaft auf den Kopf stellen. Eine fesselnde Reise durch das Wesen der Natur. Doch kann er den Konflikt zwischen Wissenschaft und Philosophie wirklich lösen und findet Whitehead die Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Wesen der Natur?

2019 Reprint of 1910 Edition. Volume One Only. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Originally published in three volumes. There is no doubt that Principia Mathematica [PM] is of great importance in the history of mathematics and philosophy: it sparked interest in symbolic logic and advanced the subject by popularizing it; it showcased the powers and capacities of symbolic logic; and it showed how advances in philosophy of mathematics and symbolic logic could go hand-in-hand with tremendous fruitfulness. Indeed, PM was in part brought about by an interest in Logicism, the view on which all mathematical truths are logical truths. It was in part thanks to the advances made in PM that, despite its defects, numerous advances in meta-logic were made, including Gödel's incompleteness theorems. The scholarly, historical, and philosophical interest in PM is great and ongoing: for example, the Modern Library ranked it 23rd in a list of the top 100 English-language nonfiction books of the twentieth century.

"So, wie wir denken, leben wir. Darum ist das Sammeln philosophischer Ideen mehr als ein Studium für Spezialisten. Es formt unseren Typ der Zivilisation."Alfred North WhiteheadDer englische Philosoph Alfred North Whitehead gilt heute als bedeutendster Erneuerer der Metaphysik und Naturphilosophie im 20. Jahrhundert. Denkweisen, sein letztes großes Werk, beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Aufgabe der Philosophie in jenem schöpferischen und kulturellen Prozeß zukommt, den wir als Zivilisation bezeichnen. Whiteheads Buch ist ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für die Kraft der Spekulation als grundlegende Weise philosophischen Denkens.Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) widmete sich nach Grundlagenarbeiten über die Mathematik naturphilosophischen Fragen. Nach seiner Auswanderung nach Amerika entwickelte Whitehead eine Prozeßmetaphysik, die zuerst in Wissenschaft und moderne Welt (stw 753) und dann insbesondere in Prozeß und Realität (stw 690) und Abenteuer der Ideen (stw 1498) ausgearbeitet wurde. Zuletzt erschien Kulturelle Symbolisierung (stw 1497).

»Die Philosophie kehrt das Verfahren der Wissenschaft um. Die Wissenschaft kann nur endliche Züge, Eigenschaften oder Beziehungen an den wirklichen Dingen zu begreifen und zu erfassen trachten. Damit entfernt sie sich von der Realität, wie sie in unserer Erfahrung aufscheint. Die Philosophie hat diese Erfahrung in gewisser Weise zurückzugewinnen, aber sie muß ihr begrifflichen Ausdruck geben, und sie muß es über Begriffe tun, die der inneren Unendlich-keit der Erfahrungen gerecht werden. Eben dies beansprucht Whitehead mit seinem System von Kategorien zu leisten. In ihnen soll schlechthin alles inter-pretierbar sein, die volle Wirklichkeit ohne jeden Abzug. - Man mache sich klar, was damit gesagt und gefordert ist: Erfahrung soll in ihrer ganzen Fülle genommen werden, das ist sein Anspruch an die Philosophie,und es ist, in seinem Verständnis, derAnspruch derPhilosophie.« Jürgen von Kempski

The Principle Of Relativity With Applications To Physical Science has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format as the same form as it was originally first published. Hence any marks or annotations seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.

An English mathematician and philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead provided the foundation for the school of thought known as process philosophy. With an academic career that spanned from Cambridge to Harvard, Whitehead wrote extensively on mathematics, metaphysis, and philosophy.Modes of Thought by Alfred North Whitehead includes chapters on creative impulses and activities as well as the overall aim of philosophy.

Presents the texts of a series of lectures delivered between 1912 and 1928 on the purposes and practice of education.
