Summary

Alfred North Whitehead (18681-1947) was an English mathematician and philosopher. He is best known as the defining figure of the philosophical school known as process philosophy, which has been applied to a variety of disciplines, including ecology, theology, education, physics, biology, economics, and psychology. He was educated at Cambridge University in England and later became a professor of philosophy at Harvard University. Early in his career Whitehead wrote primary on mathematics, logic, and physics. His most notable work is the three-volume “Principia Mathematica” which he wrote with former student Bertrand Russell, and was published in 1910-1913. His book, “Science and the Modern World,” published in 1925, is based on a series of lectures he presented in February of 1925, although with some revisions and additions.

    What World Is This? - A Pandemic...

    Judith Butler

    The pandemic compels us to ask fundamental questions about our place in the world: the many ways humans rely on one another, how we vitally and sometimes fatally breathe the same air, share the surfaces of the earth, and exist in proximity to other porous creatures in order to live in a social world. What we require to live can also imperil our lives. How do we think from, and about, this common bind? 
     
     
     
    Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences—political, social, ecological, economic—have challenged us to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Drawing on the work of Max Scheler, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and critical feminist phenomenology, Butler illuminates the conditions in which we seek to make sense of our disorientation, precarity, and social bonds. What World Is This? offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and breathing, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Criticizing notions of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of racism, sexism, and classism, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potential of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequalities.
