Though not recognised by Aristotle, there is biological evidence, written about by Galen , [8] that the human brain is an essential seat of human experience in the mode of presentational immediacy. No member of the nexus is spatially separate from any other member. That some occasions of experience involve experience in the mode of presentational immediacy is the one and only reason why Whitehead makes the occasions of experience his actual entities; for the actual entities must be of the ultimately general kind.

Potentially, each occasion of experience is causally consequential on every other occasion of experience that precedes it in time, and has as its causal consequences every other occasion of experience that follows; thus it has been said that Whitehead's occasions of experience are 'all window', in contrast to Leibniz's 'windowless' monads. Inherent in each actual entity is its respective dimension of time. NOOK Book. For Whitehead, there are many contributory singular causes for an event. The work itself is highly technical and far from easy to understand, and in many passages the errors in those editions were such as to compound the difficulties. Authority control BNF : cbt data.

Process and Reality An Essay in Cosmology 2nd edition Writer For example, for Aristotle, the actual entities were the substances , such as Socrates a particular citizen of Athens and Bucephalus a particular horse belonging to Alexander the Great. Another aspect of the atomicity of occasions of experience is that they do not change. Thus an enduring physical object, like an Aristotelian substance, undergoes changes and adventures during the course of its existence.

  • Mereology Then and Now
    Logic and Logical Philosophy Volume 24 (2015), 409–427 DOI: 10.12775/LLP.2015.024 Rafał Gruszczyński Achille C. Varzi MEREOLOGY THEN AND NOW Abstract. This paper offers a critical reconstruction of the motivations that led to the development of mereology as we know it today, along with a brief description of some questions that define current research in the field. Keywords: mereology; parthood; formal ontology; foundations of mathe- matics 1. Introduction Understood as a general theory of parts and wholes, mereology has a long history that can be traced back to the early days of philosophy. As a formal theory of the part-whole relation or rather, as a theory of the relations of part to whole and of part to part within a whole it is relatively recent and came to us mainly through the writings of Edmund Husserl and Stanisław Leśniewski. The former were part of a larger project aimed at the development of a general framework for formal ontology; the latter were inspired by a desire to provide a nominalistically acceptable alternative to set theory as a foundation for mathematics. (The name itself, ‘mereology’ after the Greek word ‘µρoς’, ‘part’ was coined by Leśniewski [31].) As it turns out, both sorts of motivation failed to quite live up to expectations. Yet mereology survived as a theory in its own right and continued to flourish, often in unexpected ways. Indeed, it is not an exaggeration to say that today mereology is a central and powerful area of research in philosophy and philosophical logic. It may be helpful, therefore, to take stock and reconsider its origins.

  • Marx, Process, and the Metaphysics of Production: the Relations of Change
    Running head: MARX AND PROCESS 1 Marx, Process, and the Metaphysics of Production: The Relations of Change ---------------------- ------- ABSTRACT: In this essay I offer a reading of Karl Marx which deviates from traditionalapproaches. I should like to explicate the metaphysics of process in Marx‟s philosophy. This work will make explicit a Marxianconcept of change and transformation in the flow of history—as Marx‟s vision of history is adynamic unfolding. On my view, Marx‟s underlying structure which serves to support his metaphysics of process is production. In The German Ideology(1845-1846) Marx writes, “The way men produce their means of subsistence depends first of all on the nature of the actual means of subsistence they find in existence and have to reproduce. This mode of production must not be considered simply as being the reproduction of the physical existence of the individuals. Rather it is a definite form of activity of these individuals, a definite form of expressing their life, a definite mode of life on their part” (Tucker, 1978, p. 150). It is from the departure of real human relations that we see Marx beginning his analyses. I contend that that these relations (human production) have ontological primacy. As I see Marx as a philosopher of change, I contend that the modern process philosopher is better suited to understand the metaphysics of Marx—and therefore the dynamics of production—in pursuit of the revolutionary struggle. MARX AND PROCESS 2 Marx, Process, and the Metaphysics of Production In this essay I will offer a reading of Karl Marx which deviates from more traditional philosophical approaches.

    AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT Civilization Sequence Program CVSP 202 FALL 2013–2014 LECTURE 1 (10th September 2013) ‘Philosophical Background’ [Dr. Nader El-Bizri] [email protected] The ancient Greek legacies in philosophy, in particular the thoughts and experiences of Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus, influenced the intellectual history of the Abrahamic monotheistic traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, from late antiquity to the 13th century (This document offers simplified and adapted highlights about some of the main concepts of this ancient Greek philosophical background). * * * * * * * PLATO [ca. 427–347 BC] أﻓﻼطﻮن / Πλάτων ‘The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato’ [Alfred North Whitehead, Process and Reality: An Essay in Cosmology (1929)] The ‘Simile of the Cave’ (Plato’s Republic 514a-521b) Imagine a group of people who lived chained in a cave all their lives, and facing a blank wall on which shadows are projected from objects situated in front of a fire behind them. They ascribe forms to these shadows, and this is the closest they get to reality and truth. Unlike them, the philosophers are freed prisoners from the cave who understand that the shadows on the wall do not make up reality, and who also grasp the true form of the real and its source of illumination, rather than being fixated on mere shadows and appearances. They generally believe that their duty is to free the chained others by giving them knowledge in order to distinguish truth/reality from appearances. A Theory of Forms Prior to Socrates and Plato (in Pre-Socratic times), there were two main Ancient Greek conceptions of reality in the 6th and 5th centuries BC.

  • The Mind–Body Problem and Whitehead's Non-Reductive Monism
    Anderson Weekes The Mind–Body Problem and Whitehead’s Non-reductive Monism Abstract: There have been many attempts to retire dualism from active philosophic life, replacing it with something less removed from sci- ence, but we are no closer to that goal now than fifty years ago. I pro- pose breaking the stalemate by considering marginal perspectives that may help identify unrecognized assumptions that limit the main- stream debate. Comparison with Whitehead highlights ways that opponents of dualism continue to uphold the Cartesian ‘real distinc- tion’between mind and body. Whitehead, by contrast, insists on a con- ceptual distinction: there can no more be body without mind than mind without body (at least at the level of ultimate constituents). Key to this integration is Whitehead’s understanding that mind, at its most rudimentary, is simply the intrinsic temporality of a physical event. Thus, the resulting form of ‘panpsychism’ is more naturalistic than commonly supposed, and it solves both the composition problem (tra- ditionally fatal to panpsychism) and the ‘hard problem’. I. Introduction In this paper I look at the ideas of the mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) in light of the contemporary debate on the ‘hard problem’of physically explaining consciousness. Consciousness studies is a burgeoning business, but one still marked by partisan controversy. If we look closely, however, we can find consensus behind the controversy. There is, for example, well attested agreement on the structure of the problem space.Onealso Correspondence: Email: [email protected] Journal of Consciousness Studies, 19, No. 9–10, 2012, pp.

  • Whitehead's Panpsychism As the Subjectivity of Prehension
    Whitehead's Panpsychism as the Subjectivity of Prehension Leemon B. McHenry LEEMON B. McHENRY is Visiting Scholar in the Department of Philosophy, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90024. 1. Introduction Whitehead's concept of prehension is undeniably the master principle of his process metaphysics. It is the central function of a creative universe whereby the many past occasions become a novel one. In my view, the concept of pre­ hension is Whitehead's most original and distinctive contribution to metaphy­ sics. It is also the very idea that prevents most contemporary philosophers from understanding or appreciating his thought. In this paper, I wish to explore the idealist context in which the concept of prehension becomes intelligible. While I do not deny that important influences from physics and biology helped Whitehead frame his idea, I contend that pre­ hension only makes sense as a concept of panpsychistic idealism. Here I use the term 'idealism' not in the sense of nature dependent on mind, but rather nature understood fun.damentally as sentient experience. 1 This appears to be White­ head's intention when, introducing the term 'prehension' for the first time in Science and the Modern World, he says: For Berkeley's mind, I substitute a process of prehensive unification. In order to make intelligible this concept of the progressive realization of natural occurrences, considerable' expansion is required, and confrontation with its actual implications in terms of concrete experience. (SMW 69) Whitehead also draws analogies with Leibniz's monads and Spinoza's modes in order to clarify how his novel idea of prehension squares with the notion of individual perspectives interlocked in a system of internal relations.

  • Naturalizing Phenomenology, Phenomenologizing Nature
    Radical Orthodoxy: Theology, Philosophy, Politics, Vol. 1, Number 3 (September 2013): 504-15. ISSN 2050-392X Naturalizing Phenomenology, Phenomenologizing Nature Ben Schewel ne of the great paradoxes of modern thought has been the relationship between nature and life. For there is no place for life or mind in the materialistic image of the world of external nature deriving from 17th century philosophical and scientific O thought. Yet, clearly life and mind do exist, in that we ourselves are alive, both biologically and mentally. From Cartesian dualism, Deistic materialism, and Romantic cosmology, to contemporary cognitive science, complex systems theory, and enactment theory, we seem incapable of surmounting the tension between naturalism and the fact of life and mind. Though perhaps too simplistic, there is much truth to seeing the course of Anglophone and Continental philosophies determined largely by diverging responses to the question of life, mind, and nature: either a) we put our trust in modern science and the naturalistic habit of mind, believing that a sufficient explanation of the relations between these three spheres will ultimately emerge through sufficiently disciplined and sustained inquiry, or b) we abandon the anachronistic desire to mold philosophy in science’s image, seeking instead to retrieve and explore the patterns of intelligibility internal to human life, as such patterns forever underlie scientific inquiry and modes of intelligibility. Not surprisingly, the first approach has thus far determined the dominant Radical Orthodoxy 1, No. 3 (September 2013). 505 Anglophone approach to mind, cognitive science, and the latter the dominant Continental approach, phenomenology. Yet recently, an increasing number of thinkers have sought to combine the two approaches, to open cognitive science to the descriptive sensitivity of phenomenology, and to ground phenomenology in the rigorous scientific disciplines of cognitive science.

Igamberdiev 3 1 International Center for the Philosophy of Information, Xi’an Social Sciences University, Xi’an 710049, China 2 Chemin du Collège 1, 1865 Les Diablerets, Switzerland 3 Department of Biology, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, NL A1B 3X9, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 March 2019; Accepted: 6 May 2019; Published: 14 May 2019 Abstract: Three disciplines address the codified forms and rules of human thought and reasoning: logic, available since antiquity; dialectics as a process of logical reasoning; and semiotics which focuses on the epistemological properties of the extant domain. However, both the paradigmatic-historical model of knowledge and the logical-semiotic model of thought tend to incorrectly emphasize the separation and differences between the respective domains vs. their overlap and interactions. We propose a sublation of linguistic logics of objects and static forms by a dynamic logic of real physical-mental processes designated as the Logic in Reality (LIR). In our generalized logical theory, dialectics and semiotics are recovered from reductionist interpretations and reunited in a new synthetic paradigm centered on meaning and its communication. Our theory constitutes a meta-thesis composed of elements from science, logic and philosophy. We apply the theory to gain new insights into the structure and role of semiosis, information and communication and propose the concept of ‘ontolon’ to define the element of reasoning as a real dynamic process. It is part of a project within natural philosophy, which will address broader aspects of the dynamics of the growth of civilizations and their potential implications for the information society.

    A.N. Whitehead’s Thought through a New Prism The European Studies in Process Thought is a book series devoted to the historical and systematic study of process philosophy in all its aspects. Although it is indebted to a philosophical tradition, in particular to the works of William James, Charles S. Peirce, Henri Bergson, Samuel Alexander and Alfred N. Whitehead, it is not dogmatically restricted to specific authors. It also aims at exploring various philosophical problems against the background of process thinking, i.e. the position that reality is in a continuous state of becoming and defies all attempts to provide definite and irrefutable answers or theories Titles in the Series: 1.

  • Appendix: Formal Theories of Parthood
    Appendix: Formal Theories of Parthood Achille C. Varzi This Appendix gives a brief overview of the main formal theories of parthood, or mereologies, to be found in the literature.1 The focus is on classical theories, so the survey is not meant to be exhaustive. Moreover, it does not cover the many philosophical issues relating to the endorsement of the theories themselves, concerning which the reader is referred to the Selected Bibliography at the end of the volume. In particular, we shall be working under the following simplifying assumptions2: — Absoluteness: Parthood is a two-place relation; it does not hold relative to time, space, spacetime regions, sortals, worlds, or anything else.3 — Monism: There is a single relation of parthood that applies to every entity independently of its ontological category.4 — Precision: Parthood is not a source of vagueness: there is always a fact of the matter as to whether the parthood relation obtains between any given pair of things.5 For definiteness, all theories will be formulated in a standard first-order language with identity, supplied with a distinguished binary predicate constant, ‘P ’, to be interpreted as the parthood relation. The underlying logic will be the classical predicate calculus. 1The exposition follows Varzi (2014). For a thorough survey, see Simons (1987). 2The labels and formulations of these assumptions are from Sider (2007). 3For the view that parthood should be a three-place relation relativized to time, see e.g. Thomson (1983). For the view that it should be a four-place relation, see Gilmore (2009). 4For misgivings about Absoluteness and related worries, see e.g.
