The Edinburgh Critical Edition of the Complete Works of Alfred North Whitehead, Volume I: The Harvard Lectures of Alfred North Whitehead, 1924–1925—Philosophical Presuppositions of Science ed. by Paul A. Bogaard and Jason Bell (review)

In 1978, Donald Sherburne and David Griffin published the Corrected Edition of Process and Reality, a major achievement of scholarship. And indeed—the Corrected Edition has become a cornerstone for the revival of Whitehead’s process thought soon afterwards by what came to be known as Process Theology, the inauguration of the Whitehead Research Project, and vivid research activity by a vibrant international community. Today, the 10th International Whitehead Conference in Claremont attracts almost 1000 presenters from over 30 countries, many of whom consider Whitehead a relevant voice not only in contemporary philosophical discussion, but also in the context of larger ecological and ethical debates as well as contributions to scientific theory. It is against this background of increasing relevance in a broadening scientific field that Edinburgh University Press has started to publish The Edinburgh Critical Edition of the Complete Works of Alfred North Whitehead. The ambitious plan of the Critical Edition is to release the entire textual corpus of Alfred North Whitehead, including personal letters and transcripts of his Harvard Lectures, much of which have
