Rec’d on YT | Alfred North Whiteheads Process Metaphysics


An overview of Alfred North Whiteheads process metaphysics. It isn’t a complete explanation of his categories but it is the main ideas. This may be difficult to understand without a bit of knowledge in metaphysics, but I did my best to make it comprehensive – you may just need to take things slow and research. It can seem rather over-speculative and all over the place at first but once you learn all of the categories, it comes together nicely like a puzzle. Alfred North Whitehead considered this to be a “speculative metaphysics” – meaning he did not see this as the end all be all of truths, but rather as a useful system of rational speculation designed to dissolve many philosophical problems. If you would like to learn more about Whitehead, I would suggest reading his “Process and Reality”

Reading the disc is a skill that astute dogs and humans pick up rather quickly. The float, the spin, and the speed can reliably be gauged and predicted after several reps. Of course this changes with wind, disc choice, and throwing ability but, generally speaking, the flight path of a disc is easily predicted.
