Drawing upon the major Harvard works — Science and the Modern
World (1925), Process and Reality (1929) and Adventures
of Ideas (1933) —, the essays gathered here on the occasion
of the creation of the Applied Process Metaphysics Summer
Institute seek, first, to introduce into Whitehead's thought by
clarifying what is at stake in his philosophy and by providing a
synoptic vision of his key categories in light of their historical
development and, second, to foster a creative dialogue among
all participants. These essays give the opportunity to travel
through most aspects of Whitehead's legacy: anthropology,
ecology, education, epistemology, metaphysics, psychology,
political theory and relativity physics.
