Description
About the Book
A chronological and critically edited collection of all of Whitehead's essays and articles, including previously unknown essays.Book Synopsis
Volume 2 of the Critical Edition's 'Essays and Articles' (EA2) captures published and unpublished essays written by Whitehead from his early London period just after joining the Aristotelian Society in 1915 through to his retirement from Harvard in 1937 until his death in 1947.
This volume includes previously unknown essays as well as papers published in academic journals and monographs. The better-known essays in this period - those that were re-published in collections such as The Aims of Education (1929) and Essays in Science and Philosophy (1947) - suffer from having too many variants, each with their own pagination and variations, making scholarly reference unnecessarily complicated. EA2, for the first time, presents all of Whitehead's non-monograph works in a single authoritative, chronologically ordered, critically edited, and corrected format, making these volumes the single scholarly standard for researching and referencing these essays.
