(3 Cauac (Rain) / 7 Ch'en (Black) - 159/260 - 12.19.10.10.19) Whitehead, Alfred North 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

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Whitehead, Alfred North Career in the United States. In the early 1920s Whitehead was clearly the most distinguished philosopher of science writing in English. When a friend of Harvard University, the historical scholar Henry Osborn Taylor, pledged the money for his salary, Harvard early in 1924 offered Whitehead a five-year appointment as professor of philosophy. He was 63 years old, with at most two more years to go in the Imperial College. The idea of teaching philosophy appealed to him, and his wife wholeheartedly concurred in the move. Harvard soon found that it had acquired more than a philosopher of science; it had acquired a metaphysician , one comparable in stature to Gottfried Leibniz and Georg Hegel. Early in 1925, he gave a course of eight lectures in Boston, published that same year (with additionsamong them his earliest writing about God) as Science and the Modern World. In it he dramatically described what had long engaged his meditation; namely, the rise, triumph, and impact of "scientific Materialism" i.e.

Whitehead, Alfred North English philosopher and mathematician. In his 'theory of organism', he attempted a synthesis of metaphysics and science. His works include Principia Mathematica 1910-13 (with Bertrand Russell), The Concept of Nature 1920, and Adventures of Ideas 1933. Whitehead's research in mathematics involved a highly original attempt - incorporating the principles of logic - to create an extension of ordinary algebra to universal algebra (A Treatise of Universal Algebra 1898), and a meticulous re-examination of the relativity theory of Albert Einstein. Whitehead was born in Ramsgate, Kent, and studied at Cambridge. He was professor of applied mathematics at London University 1914-24 and professor of philosophy at Harvard University, USA, 1924-37. At the International Congress of Philosophy in 1900, Whitehead and Russell heard Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano describe the method by which he had arrived at his axioms concerning the natural numbers, and they spent the next ten years on their project to deduce mathematics from logic in a general and fundamental way. Other works include Principles of Natural Knowledge 1919, Science and the Modern World 1925, and Process and Reality 1929.

Whitehead, Alfred North. The Concept of Nature . Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1971. Abstract This book, a development of his Tarner Lectures given in 1919, is one of Alfred North Whitehead's most important contributions to natural philosophy. His first concern is with the fundamental problems of substance, space, and time; and the most interesting part of his discussion is, perhaps, his criticism of Einstein's method of interpreting results, and the alternative development of his own well-known theory of the four-dimensional 'Space-Time manifold'. Although this book was first published over a generation ago, and the characteristic approach of philosophers to the problems of nature has changed considerably in the intervening period, The Concept of Nature has never ceased to deservetheir careful attention. When the book first appeared, A. E. Taylor, writing in Mind , said, ' The Concept of Nature is a great contribution to Naturphilosophie , far the finest contribution, in my own judgement, yet made by any one man'; J. E. McTaggart in The Cambridge Review called it 'one of the most valuable books on the relation of philosophy and science which has appeared for many years', adding 'I am sure the study of this book will benefit metaphysicians. I venture to believe that it will benefit more of science'.
