Whitehead and the philosophy of science
Keywords:
Alfred North Whitehead, philosophy of science, philosophy of the organism, abstractionSynopsis
This volume brings together research papers presented at the conference of the same name held at the School of Philosophy and Humanities of the National University of Córdoba in April 2024. The volume offers a variety of perspectives that explore the relevance of Alfred North Whitehead’s thought in the face of the challenges of contemporary science. Thus, the chapters present an analysis of Whitehead’s philosophy that ranges from the philosophy of science and epistemological problems in physics and biology to key concepts such as the philosophy of the organism, the bifurcation of nature, abstraction, and the historicity of natural events, while also addressing points of convergence and contrast with Hume and Kant.
