Whitehead will kindle a new sense of wonder in you anon.

same

If you are taking the Whitehead pill make sure you watch Matthew Segall's videos he specializes in Whitehead and he is based and cozy.

Make one on Whitehead, Quentin.

Childhood: Idealism
Adolescence: Materialism
Adulthood: Processism

To anticipate defining philosophical trends is to follow the most important problems of human action in the present. Process-relational thought is very promising, as it allows for the clarification of the problems of the present, which are ecological both in the environmental and most general senses, including epistemological. Singularitarianism and capitalist futurologies have been fully exposed as the sham ideologies they are, as tech corporations have been revealed to be just as nihilistic and exploitative as any other.

Whitehead is the only one that can save us

Recommend me books on ecology. I've been reading Whitehead and D&G and have become interested in the subject.

Lmao, hadn't noticed ngl.

Can you recc me some other authors in the same vein of Michelstaedter, Weininger and Mainländer? (matter as illusory, death as the only way to attain factual freedom etc..)

Everything is made of events

If you are not /a/ you dont belong here

Deleuze doesnt have a meme of an anime girl reading his books

Was Whitehead a sage?

Is philosophy just schizo rambling?

Redpill me on Alfred North Whitehead

Process-relational metaphysics, the problem of duality is caused by substance-primacy and is resolved by the interdependence of being and becoming as two perspectival reference frames of relational change, the nondual unity found in the evolutionary process of reality itself.

In other terms much of Western metaphysics is creationist and what is required is an evolutionary metaphysics, a cause which Whitehead greatly advanced.

>If calculus is not equivalent to physical reality

The fundamental theorem of calculus is one instance of the metaphysical nature of change. This is also expressed in our experience of change, which is comprised of two reference frames of change: instantaneous and cumulative. As philosophies of time, this means that presentism and eternalism are both "true" from their own perspective, with the encompassment of both being process. Process metaphysics features the interdependence between being and becoming at its core: https://imgur.com/a/ZtLDYJT More about this here: https://old.reddit.com/r/Tao_of_Calculus/comments/9rpnrl/space_taoism_101/

What this is leading towards is a theory of experiential evolution (consciousness as an evolutionary system analogous to biological evolution) and metaphysical evolution, with the metaphysical aspect explored greatly by Alfred North Whitehead analytically and Deleuze analogically.

Pancreativism is the White Pill. In contrast to panpsychism which places consciousness as the fundamental substance, pancreativism places evolutionary process as the nature of all things, that every aspect of nature has aconscious creativity. Biological evolution is emergent from this deeper physical evolution, and consciousness is an emergent extension of biological evolution. Human consciousness is truly special because the flexibility of human cognition allows for the creative process to fold on itself as a strange loop of self-creativity. Carl Sagan was a pancreativist in spirituality and understanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLigBYhdUDs "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself," and this knowing is also a co-creating.

Capital is a reflection of the substance metaphysics that has been dominant in Western philosophy since the time of the Greeks, which in turn is a reflection of the desire for an eternal perfect permanence that is ultimate based on the fear of death that the West has not only grown out of, but actively encouraged. The core of the trans-dimensional parasite is the dominance of time over space that was given absolute priviledge in the era of Newton. This paradigm was diminished with 20th century physics as well as in evolutionary biology yet it persists as entrenched social relationships that insist on their eternal persistence, making themselves unquestionable and making any alternatives unthinkable.

A true revolution against the domination of being and time must have a philosophical engine to allow inter-optability between practices and perspectives that are divergent from capitalism and parasitic eternalism. Thankfully this engine has a scientific foundation in the spacetime interdependency of relativity and in evolution and biology, and so the required groundwork has been laid. Grandpa Al Whitehead explored organic philosophy extensively in his work and is doubtlessly essential reading for anyone interested in these problems. Science and the Modern World is a great introduction, as his magnum opus Process and Reality is famously difficult and is aided greatly by having a less massively technical and dense introduction.
