Considered the "high water mark of his philosophical achievement,"
Whitehead's book is a rigorous inquiry into the data of science and will
be enjoyed by students of philosophy and physics alike. English
mathematician and philosopher ALFRED NORTH WHITEHEAD (1861-1947)
contributed significantly to 20th-century logic and metaphysics. With
Bertrand Russell he cowrote the landmark Principia Mathematica, and also
authored The Concept of Nature, The Function of Reason, and Process and
Reality.
