Sans titreBest known for his three-volume collaboration with Bertrand Russell, ‘Principia Mathematica’ (1910, 1912, 1913), the British philosopher of logic and mathematics Alfred North Whitehead, 1861–1947, was the originator of ‘Process theory’ in philosophy. Significantly, for Geddes and Thomson, the theory rejects philosophies which value static notions of being and instead advances a dynamic notion of becoming that views the world as “a web of interrelated processes” over an independence of things.
