Whiteheadian Ontology

Whiteheadian ontology, developed by philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, views reality as composed of interconnected "actual entities" or "occasions" of experience rather than static objects. These entities are fundamental units of existence that process and integrate influences from their environment, forming a web of relational activity. Reality is seen as dynamic and process-driven, with each entity both shaping and being shaped by others. This perspective emphasizes that everything is interconnected and constantly in flux, emphasizing becoming over static being, and highlighting the relational and processual nature of existence.
