Description

Whitehead's Metaphysics of Power Reconstructing Modern Philosophy by Pierfrancesco Basile Edinburgh University Press, 2018 This book examines the core concepts of Whitehead's process metaphysics, including his notion that being and power are intertwined. By tracing the development of these ideas within the modern philosophical tradition, Basile sheds light on the key misconceptions that have shaped Western thought. The author explores how certain fundamental beliefs, which were once widely accepted by philosophers, have been discredited as mistaken. This inquiry provides a unique opportunity to grasp the essence of Whitehead's metaphysics and understand its roots in the history of modern philosophy. Through this critical analysis, Basile offers a nuanced understanding of Whitehead's process metaphysics, making it accessible to readers interested in the subject.
