Adventures of ideas
Book • 1967
In 'Adventures of Ideas,' Alfred North Whitehead delves into two main themes: the effect of certain ideas in promoting the slow drift of mankind towards civilization, and the author's own adventure in framing a speculative scheme of ideas to explain this historical process.
The book is part of Whitehead's broader project to reestablish metaphysics, addressing challenges from sensationalist and positivist views.
It discusses key concepts such as the subject-object relationship, the role of 'occasions of experience,' and the ideals of civilization including Truth, Beauty, Art, Adventure, and Peace.
