Presents Whitehead's lectures at Harvard during the 1924-1925 academic year Beginning in September of 1924, Alfred North Whitehead presented a regular course of 85 lectures which concluded in May of 1925. These represent the first ever philosophy lectures he gave and capture him working out the philosophical implications of the remarkable turns physics had taken in his lifetime. This first volume in the critical edition shares these lectures by transcribing notes by W. P. Bell, W. E. Hocking and Louise Heath taken at the time - many of which have only recently been discovered. These notes provide unique insight into what emerges from this extensive course of lectures being given in the very months during which Whitehead is drafting his seminal work, Science and the Modern World. Paul A. Bogaard is Hart Massey Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Mount Allison University, Canada. Jason Bell is Fulbright Professor at the University of Göttingen, Germany and Marjorie Young Bell Research Fellow at Mount Allison University, Canada. Cover image: Alfred North Whitehead by P. D.
