Overview

The Essays and Articles of Alfred North Whitehead are the first authoritative, chronologically ordered, critically edited, and corrected volumes of Whitehead’s published and unpublished essays and articles. Ranging from 1886 to 1942, they include papers published in academic journals as well as previously unknown works, ranging from philosophy of mathematics to physics through to education. This conference will explore the ways in which their publication changes how we view Whitehead’s life and work.
