From a discussion of Einstein’s theories to an analysis of meaning,
the philosopher offers a fascinating collection of essays on a wide
range of topics. This is a collection of many of Whitehead’s papers
that are scattered elsewhere. It was the penultimate book he
published, and represents his mature thoughts on many topics.
Philosophical Library has done a great service by publishing a
representative collection of his writings on the subjects of
Philosophy, Education and Science. The portion on Philosophy includes
five papers: “Immortality”, “Mathematics and the Good”,
“Process and Reality”, “John Dewey and His Influence” and the
“Analysis of Meaning.” The first three chapters consist of
Whitehead’s personal reflections illumined by flashes of his lively
humor. They are picturesque and amusing. The remainder of the book
consists of chapters on Philosophy, Education, and Science. They cover
in depth his positions on many scientific and philosophical matters in
an extraordinarily unified way. The final section of the book is
devoted to excellent surveys of Geometry and Mathematics as well as a
paper on Einstein’s theories.
