Publisher's Synopsis
The immense reaches of Alfred North Whitehead's thought-in philosophy, religion, science, statesmanship, education, literature, art and conduct of life-are gathered and edited by critic and writer Lucien Price.
Time, the present; scene, the Cambridge of Harvard (with flashbacks to London, Cambridge, England, and his native Ramsgate in Kent); cast, undergraduates along with men and women, often eminent, who join in his penetrating, audacious, and exhilarating verbal forays. The subjects discussed range from smallest details of modern living to the greatest ideas that have animated the mind of man-presented here in a volume The Washington Post called "as readable as it is provocative."
