This second volume in the critical edition reproduces more than 170
lectures delivered by Alfred North Whitehead at Harvard during his
second and third years. For the first time, readers will be able to
see the development of Whitehead's philosophy during the crucial
period between the publication of Science and the Modern World and
his delivery of the Gifford lectures that would become Process and
Reality, as he tests his theories in a classroom setting. These
student notes provide the long-missing window into critical
developments in Whitehead's thinking during this time. They
challenge longstanding speculations about when exactly Whitehead
developed some of his most famous metaphysical concepts, as well as
how those concepts are to be properly interpreted against the wider
backdrop of his life and thought. Also included is a transcript of
the only known lecture Whitehead delivered on the topic of ethics,
two mid-year exams given to his students, and nearly 2,000
footnotes that provide additional context for the lectures and
alternative student accounts of key passages.
