Upcoming Events

Second International Conference:Beyond Metaphysics? Transcontinental Explorations in Alfred North Whitehead’s Late Thought
Date: December 4-6, 2008
Location: Claremont, California
The Whitehead Research Project and the Society for the Study of Process Philosophies will hold a major international conference on December 4-6 at Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California. This event will bring together leading scholars from Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain and Great Brittan) and the United States to engage Alfred North Whitehead’s late work. The theme will bring participants to explore the question of whether Whitehead’s system is completed with Process and Reality, or if instead his metaphysics only comes fully into view in his later works (esp. Adventures of Ideas and Modes of Thought). One could, for instance, argue that Modes of Thought captures his true metaphysics. The goal will be to recognize the differentiation of Whitehead’s thought post Process and Reality and to learn to measure it on its own terms.
