‘There is but one nature, namely the nature which is before us in perceptual knowledge.’
When The Concept of Nature was first published, it was considered to be one of the most important works on the relation between science and philosophy. Being one of the most prominent scholars of metaphysics during his time, Whitehead fully explores what is knowable in nature and the fundamental concepts that nature is made up of. Fundamental problems of substance, space, and time are all thoroughly discussed in this book.
Alfred North Whitehead was a British mathematician and philosopher. He is best known for his works in mathematical logic and his collaboration with Bertrand Russell on Principia Mathematica.
