English philosopher Samuel Alexander's debt to Wordsworth and Meredith is a recent interesting example, as also A. N. Whitehead's understanding of the English romantics, chiefly Shelley and Wordsworth.

Whitehead's classical statement is a set of antithetical statements that attempt to avoid self-contradiction by shifting them from a set of oppositions into a contrast:

Whitehead's most far-reaching and profound and radical contribution to metaphysics is his invention of a better way of choosing the actual entities.

Potentially, each Whiteheadean occasion of experience is causally consequential on every other occasion of experience that precedes it in time, and has as its causal consequences every other occasion of experience that follows it in time ; thus it has been said that Whitehead's occasions of experience are'all window ', in contrast to Leibniz's ' windowless ' monads.

This is because occasions of experience have some topological character, expressed in Whitehead's theory of extension.

Shelah ( 1974 ) proved that Whitehead's problem is undecidable within standard ZFC set theory.

Abelian groups satisfying this condition are sometimes called Whitehead groups, so Whitehead's problem asks: is every Whitehead group free?

Caution: The converse of Whitehead's problem, namely that every free abelian group is Whitehead, is a well known group-theoretical fact.

He showed that Whitehead's problem is independent of ZFC.

Interest in Whitehead's engines is indicated by the recollections of his daughter Rose, who said her father received numerous orders for them and even declined as many as 50 orders in a single day because he was too busy.

Although bearing similar names, Process-oriented psychology as developed by Mindell is distinct from Process psychology derived from Whitehead's Process philosophy.

The first recorded launch of torpedoes from a torpedo boat ( which itself was launched from a torpedo boat tender ) in an actual battle was by Russian admiral Stepan Makarov on January 16, 1878, who used self-propelled Whitehead's torpedoes against a Turkish armed ship Intibah during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78.

He described the arc of Whitehead's career as a retrogression, that it moved from supposed early successes to less ambitious experiments, and then descended further to unlikely designs and public failure.

The entry Whitehead's point-free geometry includes two contemporary treatments of Whitehead's theories, due to Giangiacomo Gerla, each different from the theory set out in the next section.

Whitehead's ontology refers to importantly structured collections of actual entities as nexuses of actual entities.

In analogy to Alfred Whitehead's notion of actual occurrence, Bohm considered the notion of moment – a moment being a not entirely localizable event, with events being allowed to overlap and being connected in an over-all implicate order: Bohm emphasized the primary role of the implicate order's structure:

In fact, ' subject ' is a mere abbreviation of ' Subject-superject ' which is an ' actual entity ' in Alfred North Whitehead's technical phraseology.

Whitehead's " subjective forms " complement " eternal objects " in his metaphysical system ; eternal objects being entities not unlike Plato's archetypal Forms.

Most of all, his letters to his philosophic colleagues show a magnanimity as well as an honesty which help to explain Whitehead's reference to James as `` that adorable genius ''.

This resulted in the most famous work of process philosophy, Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality, 1929, a work which continues that begun by Hegel but describing a more complex and fluid dynamic ontology.

Malik wrote his PhD dissertation about Whitehead, in which Malik compared Whitehead's Metaphysics of Time to that of Martin Heidegger.

Whitehead's metaphysical views, which he called process philosophy emerged in The Concept of Nature ( 1920 ) and were expanded in Science and the Modern World ( 1925 ), also an important study in the history of ideas and the role of science and mathematics in the rise of Western civilization.

* It also inspired two made-for-TV movies: The 1975 two-part TV movie, Attack on Terror: The FBI vs. the Ku Klux Klan, which was based on Don Whitehead's book ( Attack on Terror: The F. B. I.

is the direct limit of the GL ( n ), which embeds in GL ( n + 1 ) as the upper left block matrix, and the commutator subgroup agrees with the group generated by elementary matrices E ( A )= GL ( A ), by Whitehead's lemma.
