>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 1 12:09:04 2018 No.12164193 I read this book once. I didn't get it. Read two introductions on process-relational philosophy. Still don't really get it.

I doubt anyone in /lit/ really understands Whitehead. When he first started lecturing his fellow professors didn't understand. He's probably only understood properly by a tiny group of people, and somehow I don't think someone with brains like that posts here

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 1 12:34:55 2018 No.12164292 >>12164237 For me the closest I came to understanding him have been Matthew Segall's lectures. Then again, that only proves I understand some guy's interpretation of Whitehead...

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 1 13:15:14 2018 No.12164437 >>12164237 I understand the parts he shares with Deleuze, ie. process-oriented mentaphysics and the anti-essential differential becoming ontology, but nothing of actual substance.

I read his introduction to look at his catagories. They mostly made sense but I had to compare him to Peirce. I think I had a problem with something he said about concreteness but I don't really remember and have no idea wether or not it was an actual problem or a superficial misunderstanding. Likely the later. I want to return to Whitehead after I finish with Peirce. Peirce is difficult.
