|
By: Alfred North Whitehead, Bertrand Russell
Publisher: Merchant Books
February 21, 2009
Just to note that this is the 1910-13 Edition, so you're missing the introduction to the 1927 Second Edition, which can be found though in The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell (Routledge Classics), and 2 new appendixes: Appendix A replacing *9 and an all-new Appendix C... more

| 3. Process and Reality (Gifford Lectures Delivered in the University of Edinburgh During the Session 1927-28) | 
|
By: Alfred North Whitehead
Publisher: Free Press
July 01, 1979
Studied this in college and was totally blown away! Process & Reality is, in a nutshell, mathematics-based, process metaphysics, with quantum mechanics thrown in for good measure. Say that 3 times fast! Given that he wrote this in 1927-28, many of the concepts he proposed were way ahead of the times. The concepts he proposed were similar to Spinoza & Meister Eckhart, although more advanced... more

| 4. Science and the Modern World | 
|
By: Alfred North Whitehead
Publisher: Free Press
August 01, 1997
The content of the book is just terrific. See other reviews.
I just wanted to let folks know that for their $19.95, they are getting a very cheaply made book. The cover is quite thin, but even worse, the book is printed on awful, pulpy paper--worse than most romance/mystery novels.
I'm sure that it will pass out of its concrescence sooner than most books . . . ... more

| 8. Principia Mathematica - Volume Three | 
|
By: Alfred North Whitehead, Bertrand Russell
Publisher: Merchant Books
February 27, 2009
This book was published in 1910 and its style is not suitable for studying math, so its value is mostly as a historic perspective. In my opinion, this book belongs only in specialized libraries since it is not suitable for students and frankly I don't see what anyone would learn to use from it. I have great respect for both authors for their contribution in the mathematics, but the book is antiquated... more

| 9. Aims of Education |
|
By: Alfred North Whitehead
Publisher: Free Press
January 01, 1967
This book is as fresh and usefull as it was 50 years ago when I first read it. The summary of this book, that is Whitehead's concept of the message to be received from the writing, is the first line of the book. Dr. Whitehead assures us the purpose of education is to enrich life and "scraps of information have nothing to do with it." This magnificent book belongs on the shelf of every person who... more
