The Concept of Nature
Book • 1920
In this book, Whitehead redefines and clarifies the nature of scientific inquiry, challenging prevailing notions of matter and substance.
He argues that nature is not simply a collection of natural objects but a complex system of interrelated processes and events.
Whitehead discusses the role of perception in our understanding of nature and introduces key concepts such as sense-perception, thought, and the distinctions between homogeneous and heterogeneous thinking.
The work is a major contribution to the philosophy of science and has significantly influenced process philosophy.
