PERCEPTION AND COSMOLOGY
IN WHITEHEAD'S PHILOSOPHY
by
Paul
F.
Schmidt
The first full-length study of the continuity and novelty of Alfred
North Whitehead's theories of perception shows how his views about
p erception were influenced by his life-long concern with the foun–
dations of science and, in turn, how his views about perception
played a fundamental role' in his reformation of the found ations of
science and the construction of his cosmology. D r. Schmidt's study,
based on sixteen of Whitehead's major publications, offers an illum–
inating perspective on the whole range of thought of this remarkable
metaphysical and scientific genius.
