Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy is one of the most
creative and promising approaches developed in the 20th century.
Being a scholar who for most of his professional life worked in the
fields of logic, mathematics, and physics it was one of Whitehead's
major intentions to exemplarily demonstrate the possibility of the
creative interplay between metaphysics and other disciplines such
as aestethics, ethics, theology and especially the single sciences.
One scientific field which he never lost interest in during his
whole life was education, a key domain for prospering societies. In
this book a selection of 15 papers explores Whitehead's educational
ideas which are based on his radical process approach. Following
the Introduction which presents Whitehead's criticism of
traditional education and the false psychology which it is based
on, the book is divided into two major parts. The first part deals
with Whitehead's philosophically inspired alternative theoretical
framework for learning and education. Special focus is layed on the
concept of the learning process which according to Whitehead is
essentially cyclic in nature. In the second part it is shown how
Whitehead's ideas can profitably be applied to different
sub-domains within education: management education, college
education and evalutation. The book shows that Whitehead's process
approach offers a promising alternative to traditional education.
