This book examines the significance of Whitehead's first year of
lectures at Harvard, recently published in the first volume of The
Edinburgh Critical Edition of the Complete Works of Alfred North
Whitehead.In these newly commissioned essays, leading Whitehead
scholars ask a range of important questions: Do these lectures
challenge or confirm previous understandings of Whitehead's
published works? What is revealed about the development of
Whitehead's thought in the crucial period after London but before
the publication of Science and the Modern World? What should we
make of concepts and terms that were introduced in these lectures
but were never incorporated into subsequent publications? The
lectures published in The Harvard Lectures of Alfred North
Whitehead, 1924-1925: Philosophical Presuppositions of Science
represent Whitehead's first American lectures in philosophy after a
long career in England as a mathematician and throw new light on
the development of his philosophy.Also included in this volume is
the text of Whitehead's first lecture at Harvard, recently gifted
to the Critical Edition of Whitehead, allowing for a clearer
understanding of Whitehead's plans and goals for his first course
of lectures in philosophy than has previously been possible. Brian
G. Henning, Founding Executive Editor of the Critical Edition of
Whitehead, is Professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies at
Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington.
