Unearthing the Unknown Whitehead argues that it is Alfred North
Whitehead's recently published Harvard lectures, and not his books,
that contain the truest record of the development of his
philosophy, including the false starts and dead ends that the
published works obscure. This development could previously only be
inferred as taking place in the gaps between books. It thus calls
for a complete reconsideration of Whitehead's philosophical corpus.
Joseph Petek critically evaluates the accuracy and reliability of
the student accounts of Whitehead's recently published Harvard
lectures and then examines these notes, along with a number of
previously unknown essays, in order to trace previously unknown
aspects of Whitehead's philosophy and the development of his
thought. Additionally, neglected early letters between Whitehead
and Bertrand Russell appear to reveal a precise point at which he
began transitioning from his long career in mathematics to a new
career in philosophy. Two previously undiscovered essays-"Religious
Psychology of the Western Peoples" and "Freedom and Order"-display
Whitehead's concern for a creeping hyper-nationalism that is
intensely relevant in today's political climate, along with
terminological experiments that stretch our conceptions of
Whitehead's philosophy in new directions.
