Про автора
The youngest of four children of an Anglican vicar, Whitehead (1861-1947)–one of the most interesting and imaginative scholars of our era–showed no sign in his youth of the genius that he was later in life. As a scholar, his academic interests spanned mathematics, science, and metaphysics, all of which were thoroughly and carefully treated by him with a unique and original style. Guided by the intellectual honesty and the personal touch that is so characteristic of his writings, only few follow Whitehead in the rarely taken path that combines mathematics, physics, and philosophy. His ingenuity and creativity shall remain an inspiration to generations of scholars.
