"The first scholarly edition of critically edited, previously unpublished notes of
Whitehead's philosophy lectures from 1925 to 1927. Reproduces more than 170 lectures
delivered by Alfred North Whitehead during his 2nd and 3rd years at Harvard. Provides
a window into the development of Whitehead's thought in the lead up to the publication
of his most significant work, Process and Reality. Reproduces the drawings Whitehead
created on the board in class providing new insights into his thinking - invaluable
because his published works include no diagrams. For the first time, Whitehead's readers
will be able to see the development of his philosophy during the crucial period between
the publication of Science and the Modern World and his delivery of the Gifford lectures
that would become Process and Reality, as he tests his theories in a classroom setting.
These student notes provide the long-missing window into critical developments in
Whitehead's thinking during this time. They challenge longstanding speculations about
when exactly Whitehead developed some of his most famous metaphysical concepts, and
how those concepts are to be properly interpreted against the wider backdrop of his
life and thought. Also included is a transcript of the only known lecture Whitehead
delivered on the topic of ethics, two mid-year exams given to his students and nearly
2,000 footnotes that provide additional context for the lectures and alternative student
accounts of key passages"
