Contemporary Whitehead Studies

Series Introduction

Philosophy today is in a state of transition. The old philosophical divisions appear increasingly worn and dowdy to new generations of students who find themselves confronted with a complex, uncertain, and often-dangerous world. Though it still maintains its disciplinary dominance, the Anglo-American tradition has abandoned the philosophical projects – such as positivism, ordinary language analysis, or the linguistic turn – that once provided a coherent programmatic center. Similarly, the deconstructionist and poststructuralist projects on the Continent take many new faces moving beyond their initial iterations. It is in this fertile, if shifting, context that a revival of Whitehead scholarship is taking place, facilitated through the multifaceted work of the scholars of the Whitehead Research Project and its Contemporary Whitehead Studies series.
