Alfred J. North Whitehead

Alfred J. North Whitehead was a British mathematician and philosopher known for developing process philosophy, which views reality as made up of interconnected processes and events rather than static things. He emphasized that everything is constantly changing and that understanding the universe requires looking at how these processes interact. His ideas influence fields like physics, metaphysics, and ecology, stressing the importance of relationships and becoming over fixed substances. Whitehead’s work encourages seeing reality as an ongoing, dynamic web of experiences, emphasizing that nothing exists in isolation but as part of a continuous flow of change.
