Produktbeschreibung

Process and Reality is Alfred North Whitehead's most important and influential work, originally delivered as the Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh in 1927-28. In this groundbreaking text, Whitehead develops his vision of process philosophy-a system that sees the universe not as a collection of static substances, but as a dynamic web of events, relations, and becoming. Bridging philosophy, science, and theology, Whitehead offers a bold metaphysical framework that continues to shape modern thought. His "philosophy of organism" challenges materialism and reductionism, opening new possibilities for understanding reality, creativity, and the divine. Challenging yet profoundly rewarding, Process and Reality has inspired generations of thinkers in philosophy, theology, and cosmology. This edition provides readers with direct access to Whitehead's magnum opus, a book that remains essential for anyone interested in the deepest questions of existence.
