- Summary:
- Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) was the most sociological of philosophers, proclaims Halewood (social theory, U. of Essex), because he saw all enduring things as societies, and because he believed that one major role of theory is to challenge the deepest preconceptions and assumptions that permeate attempts to understand and explain the world. He outlines Whitehead's philosophy; the challenges it makes; and the opportunities it offers social theory regarding a specific set of problems and concerns: realism and causation, value, subjectivity, the body, sexual difference, and capitalism.
