Alfred North Whitehead (philosopher)
Alfred North Whitehead was an influential philosopher and mathematician known for developing process philosophy, which views reality as a continuous creation of experiences rather than static objects. He believed everything is interconnected and constantly in flux, with fundamental elements called "actual occasions"—brief events of experience—that build the universe. His ideas emphasize that change, creativity, and relationships are central to understanding nature, consciousness, and existence. Whitehead’s work crosses philosophy, science, and theology, offering a holistic way to see reality as a dynamic, interconnected process rather than isolated entities.
