Alfred North Whitehead was an English mathematician and philosopher known for his development of process philosophy. He co-authored the influential Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell, a work that significantly impacted mathematical logic. Shifting his focus from mathematics to the philosophy of science and metaphysics, Whitehead proposed a radical departure from traditional Western philosophical perspectives, asserting that reality is composed of processes rather than independent material objects. His renowned work, Process and Reality, is considered foundational in process philosophy. Whitehead's philosophy emphasizes the interconnectedness of processes and the consequential nature of human choices and actions, making it particularly relevant to the modern focus on ecological civilization and environmental ethics. Born in Ramsgate, Kent, in 1861, Whitehead excelled in mathematics at Sherborne and later studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he became a fellow and taught mathematics and physics. His contributions continue to influence disciplines such as ecology, theology, education, physics, biology, economics, and psychology.
