Overview

New Shapes of Reality (1968) examines the works and thoughts of A.N. Whitehead, a major philosopher of great originality whose work touches all our preoccupations – but who fell out of favour and became rather obscure. This book encourages a Whitehead revival, and stresses a point of importance to any who wish to understand this great modern philosopher – there is more than one way of looking at the universe. You can see things either as material existing in space, or as events which create their own conditions as they come and go. The exploration of the latter prospect is the true excitement to be found in Whitehead.
