I strive to be as radical as I can, and probe as deeply as possible.

The vision we as Whiteheadians want to promote is of the world as “a communion of subjects rather than a collection of objects.” The phrase comes from Thomas Berry, who gained his vision from Teilhard de Chardin.

Despite these difficulties, most logicians continue to identify the proposition as a linguistic entity and to assume that the language can be settled in such a way that the statement is either true or false. Whitehead makes a different move. For him, the proposition is not a linguistic element. It is a relation in the real world between some entity, usually a society of some kind, and a pure potential or abstract possibility on the other.

The data of our conscious experience are all what Whitehead calls societies, and the vast majority of our thoughts are about societies.

Whitehead saw that a moment of human experience is neither physical nor mental, or we could say it is a very complex integration of both.

Whitehead shows us the importance of what in popular parlance are sometimes called “vibes.” Learning takes place in experience that is the synthesis of real relations — to the personal past, the body, and the wider world.
