Invaluable ... Students and scholars of Whitehead's philosophy and those more generally interested in the intersections of philosophy and science will find a treasure trove for gleaning the development, breadth, and depth of Whitehead's thought ... This richly packed and stimulating first volume portends well for the future of the Edinburgh series as a whole ... This first volume is - and forthcoming volumes will be - an essential research tool and intellectual treasure for every scholarly library and for every serious student of Whitehead.--William J. Meyer, Maryville College American Journal of Theology and Philosophy This is a truly revelatory volume that helps to put more of the various pieces of the puzzle that is Whitehead's philosophical thought together ... It is certain that Whitehead scholars and enthusiasts all stand together in welcoming this valuable contribution.--Adam C. Scarfe, University of Winnipeg Process Studies The Harvard Lectures of Alfred North Whitehead merits critical acclaim in two areas. Its commitment to the editorial handling of the transcripts is consistent and thorough, which is a true mark of scholarship. On the part of scientific relevance, it provides context to the diverse lines of thought of a highly nuanced thinker whose interdisciplinary background is difficult to understand otherwise ... This start bodes well for what is to come. --Aljoscha Berve, University of Dusseldorf Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society: A Quarterly Journal in American Philosophy These lectures are an extremely important tool for scholars who would like to explore the creative way Alfred North Whitehead gave form to his philosophical investigations and ideas ... This book is like an immense laboratory of ideas concerning a great number of issues. --Giacomo Borbone, Catania University Philosophy in Review This volume is an indispensable asset for any Whitehead scholar. The book shall also prove important for people interested in the history of the philosophy of science and the history of philosophy generally, since it tracks many unexpected parallels between Whitehead's specific outlook and the philosophies of Descartes and Spinoza, Leibniz and Kant, Russell and Wittgenstein, Husserl and Bergson. Last but not least, it documents a significant turning point in the philosophical development of one of the most important thinkers of 20th century. --Rosen Lutskanov, Bulgarian Academy of Science Balkan Journal of Philosophy
