Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) was a British mathematician and philosopher known for his contributions to logic, mathematics, and metaphysics. He collaborated with Bertrand Russell on the seminal work "Principia Mathematica" and developed the process philosophy. Whitehead's interdisciplinary approach to science and philosophy influenced various fields, emphasizing the interconnectedness of knowledge and the importance of rigorous reasoning.
