Alfred North Whitehead

Science and the modern world, a classical book, has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we at Alpha Editions have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.

Alfred North Whiteheads "Das Wesen der Natur" revolutioniert das Denken ber den Umgang der Naturwissenschaften mit der Philosophie. In diesem Werk sucht er nach einer alternativen Antwort auf die Frage, wie sich die Natur beschreibt und versteht. Er erforscht die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Mathematik und Philosophie und stellt tiefsch rfende Fragen ber die Natur des Universums. Whitehead liefert Antworten, die zu weitreichenden Einsichten f hren und die Welt der Wissenschaft auf den Kopf stellen. Eine fesselnde Reise durch das Wesen der Natur. Doch kann er den Konflikt zwischen Wissenschaft und Philosophie wirklich l sen und findet Whitehead die Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Wesen der Natur?

"Science and the Modern World" by Alfred North Whitehead, originally published in 1925 redefines the concept of modern science. This book takes readers through the history of modern science and shows how cultural history has affected science over time in Romanticism, Quantum Theory, religion, and movements for social progress. Whitehead invites his audience to understand and read with celebration about the contemporary, historical, and cultural context of scientific discovery.

This is a new publication (typeset in LaTeX) of Alfred North Whitehead's book The Concept of Nature. The subjects discussed in the book are: Nature and Thought; Theories of the Bifurcation of Nature; Time; The Method of Extensive Abstraction; Space and Motion; Congruence; Objects; The Ultimate Physical Concepts.

The Principle Of Relativity With Applications To Physical Science has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format as the same form as it was originally first published. Hence any marks or annotations seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.

Originally published in 1925, Alfred North Whitehead's Science and the Modern World was a groundbreaking work that redefined the concept of modern science. It is a work not only of the first importance but also of great beauty in which the author dramatically describes what had long engaged his meditations; namely, the rise, triumph, and impact of "scientific materialism," according to which nature consists of nothing else but a flux of purely physical energy, while at the same time criticizing this materialism as mistaking an abstract system of mathematical physics for the concrete reality of nature. Whitehead's mind was at home with such abstractions (indeed, with Bertrand Russell he co-authored the epochal Principia Mathematica), and he saw them as real discoveries, not intellectual inventions; but his sense for the fullness of existence led him to urge upon philosophy the task of making good their omissions by reverting to the variety of concrete experience first, then framing broader ideas. In this, Whitehead anticipated insights that would come to dominate the philosophy of science in the latter part of the twentieth century. Moving masterfully through the history of modern science, he shows how cultural history has affected science over the ages in relation to such major intellectual themes as romanticism, relativity, quantum theory, religion, and movements for social progress. Throughout this narrative, philosophy is put forward as humanity's fundamental intellectual pursuit; a medium of change and reconfiguration from which all thought, scientific included, derives its strength. This fascinating volume that will be of value to anyone with an interest in philosophy or the history of science.
