Editorial Reviews

This book is an introduction to and commentary on Alfred North Whitehead's philosophical system. Kraus (philosophy, Fordham) organizes the book so that each chapter corresponds directly with a chapter from Whitehead's so that they can be studied concurrently. The goal throughout is to make sense of Whitehead's strange technical vocabulary, obscurities, inconsistencies, and the circularity of the fundamental elements of the metaphysical scheme. Paper edition (unseen), $17. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
