Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1948)
believed that the principle of relativity
is the key to the understanding of
metaphysics. Like Bertrand Russell,
Whitehead was a distinguished
mathematician and logician. He advocates
one reality -- whatever is given in
perception is real. Sensory data of which
experience is composed consists of
point-events in space-time, existing
independently of a perceiving mind.
Consciousness and mind are not entities
apart from events. Consciousness orders
and unifies events.
