Symposium: "The Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead"

Library of Congress
Washington, D.C.

Experts to Discuss Famed Mathematician and Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead and a Rare Piece of Correspondence at Symposium on Feb. 17

A rare, six-page letter written by Alfred North Whitehead, one of the major philosophers and mathematicians of the 20th century, will be the subject of a half-day symposium at the Library of Congress. The letter was recently donated to the Library and will be housed in the Manuscript Division.

Roland Faber, executive co-director of the Center for Process Studies and executive director of the Whitehead Research Project at Claremont Graduate University will give the keynote address "Whitehead’s Work and Impact, Past and Future," which will provide an overview of Whitehead and his legacy in a range of fields.

George Lucas of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis will discuss "Whitehead, Wittgenstein and 20th Century Philosophy and Ethics."

Michael Epperson of California State University in Sacramento will present "Interpretations of Contemporary Physics."

David Finkelstein of the Georgia Institute of Technology will discuss "Reflections on ‘Principia Mathematica,’" which will address the impact of Whitehead in logic and mathematics.

Derek Malone-France of George Washington University will present "Kant and Whitehead."

Ron Phipps of the International Center for Process Philosophy, Science and Education will discuss "Significance of Whitehead’s 1936 Letter."

Timothy Eastman of Plasmas International in Silver Spring, Md., will present "Whitehead in the Tradition of Process Thought."

Henry S. Leonard, Jr., the letter’s donor, will talk about its provenance.
