Once largely ignored, the speculative philosophy of Alfred North
Whitehead has assumed a new prominence in contemporary theory
across the humanities and social sciences. Philosophers and
artists, literary critics and social theorists, anthropologists and
computer scientists have all embraced Whitehead's thought,
extending it through inquiries into the nature of life, the problem
of consciousness, and the ontology of objects, as well as into
experiments in education and digital media.
"The Lure of Whitehead" offers readers not only a comprehensive
introduction to Whitehead's philosophy but also a demonstration of
how his work advances our emerging understanding of life in the
posthuman epoch.
