James and Whitehead

Whitehead, James, and the Ontology of Quantum Theory

I shall describe the beautiful fit of the ideas of Alfred North Whitehead and William James with the concepts of relativistic quantum field theory developed by Tomonaga and Schwinger. The central concept is a set of happenings each of which is assigned a space-time region. This growing set of non-overlapping regions fill out a growing space-time region that advances into the stilluncreated and ...

James mark Baldwin with alfred north whitehead on organic selectivity: the “novel” factor in evolution

the aim of this paper is to show how James mark Baldwin’s theory of organic selection (also known as the “Baldwin effect”) can be fruitfully integrated with alfred north whitehead’s speculative philosophy, as part of the endeavor to develop a comprehensive process-relational evolutionary cosmology. in so doing, it provides an overview of the theory of organic selection and points to several con...

More specifically, we prove two classical results (theorems 2.1 and 3.1) in a way that seems more transparent (at least to the author) than what is found in the literature. No new results are claimed, only a different exposition. In addition to the references cited,...
