Reading Group: 15 November 2011


So far we were engaged in understanding the nature of actual entities that are conceived by Whitehead as the building blocks of the universe. Now we make the transition from a microcosmic analysis to the macrocosmic picture.

Tomorrow we read Chapter 4: Nexus and the Macrocosmic. The project of this chapter is to understand aggregates of actual entities — nexus and societies, types and levels of social organization.

Date: 15 November 2011 (Tuesday)
Time: 2:30 pm
Venue: Library, Department of Philosophy, University of Delhi



And if you think of Brick, for instance.
And you say to Brick: What do you want Brick?
And Brick says to you: I like an Arch.
And if you say to Brick: Look, arches are expensive and I can use a concrete lentil over you. What do you think of that? Brick?
Brick says: …I like an Arch.

[Louis Isadore Kahn]
