Sinopsis

Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) was a prominent English mathematician and philosopher who co-authored the highly influential Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell. Originally published in 1922, this book forms the follow-up volume to &ldquo,The Principles of Natural Knowledge&rdquo, (1919) and &ldquo,The Concept of Nature&rdquo, (1920). In it, Whitehead puts forward an alternative theory of relativity, one which goes against the heterogeneity of Einstein',s later theories in deducing that ',our experience requires and exhibits a basis in uniformity',. The text is divided into three parts - ',General Principles',, ',Physical Applications',, and ',Elementary Theory of Tensors', - and exhibits a characteristically ambitious approach in mixing various academic disciplines. This is a fascinating book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in natural science, physics, and philosophy, together with the history of science.
