I thought, since this series got spread over a couple weeks, that it might be useful for anyone who might be interested to have it compiled in one place. Thanks for reading! Power up and Steem on!

Physical bodies do behave as if they are under the influence of forces, that is, they behave according to rules which we are accustomed to call “laws of force.” For example, we say that a body is accelerated

We have said that in the event of a body falling toward Earth there is no force, only the progression from moment to moment. Let us examine the body at any given present. Force is classically defined as

IV. Physical Reality Physical reality, like Process, divides into two distinct aspects, what we commonly consider forces and material entities. According to Whitehead, it is not enough simply to ask what

“Neither God, nor the world, reaches static completion. Both are in the grip of the ultimate metaphysical ground, the creative advance into novelty.” [529] Yet Process has its constitution and being in

God, as well as being primordial, also has a consequent nature. As opposed to his primordial nature which is perfect, complete in itself, and eternal, though lacking complete actuality; God’s consequent

III. God “God is not to be treated as an exception to all metaphysical principles, invoked to save their collapse. He is their chief exemplification.” [521] In the philosophy of organism, God is neither

Contemporary occasions are immanent in one another. Contemporaneousness is defined through causal independence. If one actual entity is in neither the causal past, nor the causal future of another actual

“The whole doctrine of the future is to be understood in terms of the account of the process of self-completion of each individual occasion.” [247] This process of self-completion can be characterized

Part 2: Time Our consideration of the past and of the future will be limited to what Whitehead calls “the immediate past” and “the immediate future.” The immediate past is defined by a magnitude of duration

The third and final stage in the formal constitution of an actual entity is the satisfaction. Whitehead says of this stage that it is “the culmination marking the evaporation of all indetermination; so

The second stage in the process of feeling is the supplemental stage. In this stage, “the many feelings, derivatively felt as alien, are transformed into a unity of aesthetic appreciation immediately felt

I.  Process  Process consists of two kinds of fluency.  The first kind of fluency, the first phase of Process, is what Whitehead terms “concrescence.”  Concrescence is the coming to

He's taken the lamb there will be tears in the voice, i saw Old Whitehead. All Reiku Haiku are technically correct; the best kind of correct. Visit for many more Reiku Haiku to contemplate and many series

The New York Jets allegedly claimed wide beneficiary Lucky Whitehead off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday. Whitehead, 25, was set on waivers this week after news broke that he had been accused

Wo endet das Selbst und beginnt das Andere? Wo liegt die Grenze zwischen innen und außen? Diese auf ersten Blick leicht zu beantwortende Frage haben bisher die wenigsten Philosophen unberührt belassen.
