For Alfred North Whitehead, the fundamental basis of reality is
connectivity; the possibility, interdependence and actualisation that defy our
human desire for structure, categorisation and division. In this spirit,
Professor Roland Faber combines the disparate interests of Whitehead's study -
from Mathematics to Divinity, Political Philosophy to Cosmology - to trace the
thematic similarities of this work, and establish their unity in the 'mind' of
Whitehead. Focussing on the experience of reading Whitehead's rich text, Faber
invites the reader not to search for fixed patterns but to explore the
impermanence and diversity of Whitehead's ideas.
The Mind of Whitehead offers the curious reader a creative exploration of a crucial
twentieth-century philosopher, speaking to global concerns from a position of
possibility and complexity.
