16Langer's Theory of Image and Gestalt and Her “Reception” among PhilosophersProcess Studies 55 (1): 5-27. 2026.It is fortunate that in the present we have seen a resurgence of interest in the philosophy of Susanne Langer, with the founding of an interdisciplinary International Langer Circle, two major conferences and a number of small conferences held, and others, big and small, being planned. Her appeal across disciplines has carried process thought far from the narrow practices of academic philosophers. Also, with a major new study out by Adrienne Dengerink Chaplin, a Bloomsbury Handbook dedicated to L…Read more

45Royce, Whitehead, and the Context of Philosophy at HarvardProcess Studies 54 (2): 146-164. 2025.The discussion of logic at Harvard enjoyed a golden era, beginning with Peirce's 1898 lectures and culminating in the work of Whitehead's students, especially Susanne Langer and W. V. O. Quine. Peirce's lectures sparked an exchange with Josiah Royce that led Royce beyond his tinkering with classical forms and into a more mathematized approach. Reading in the recent literature in the philosophy of mathematics, Royce encountered Whitehead's work. The development of System Sigma, Royce's mature for…Read more

15Josiah RoyceIn Tina Röck & Michael Schramm (eds.), Whitehead-Handbuch: Leben – Werk – Wirkung, Metzler Verlag. pp. 213-222. 2025.Josiah Royce (1855–1916) war weniger als sechs Jahre älter als Alfred North Whitehead, aber wie C. S. Peirce scheint auch Royce aus einer früheren Zeit zu stammen. Der Grund dafür ist, dass Royce ein junges Wunderkind war, das noch vor seinem 30. Lebensjahr berühmt wurde und nicht lange lebte (61 Jahre), während Whiteheads Karriere als Vollzeit-Philosoph erst nach dem Tod von Royce (und Peirce) begann und über drei Jahrzehnte nach Royces Tod fortdauerte. Wir betrachten Whitehead als einen repräs…Read more

19Koordinierte TeilungIn Tina Röck & Michael Schramm (eds.), Whitehead-Handbuch: Leben – Werk – Wirkung, Metzler Verlag. pp. 293-297. 2025.Whiteheads Methode der Wahl zur Lösung von Problemen unterschiedlichster Art – mathematischer, physikalischer oder philosophischer Natur – bestand darin, eine koordinierte Ganzheit zu postulieren, dies das Problem einschließt bzw. ‚inkludiert‘. Der Begriff ‚Inklusion‘ hat für Whitehead dabei eine sehr breite Bedeutung, die er in der „Theorie des Ausdehnungszusammenhangs (‚extensive connection‘)“ (vgl. PR, Teil IV) ausarbeitet. Das koordinierte Ganze wird in der Kategorie des Ultimativen postulie…Read more

65Grace Andrus de Laguna’s New NaturalismAustralasian Philosophical Review 6 (1): 26-32. 2022.Joel Katzav's survey of the philosophy of Grace Andrus de Laguna's philosophy covers a broad range of ideas, and I have selected three for further development and commentary: (1) the relationship between naturalism and analytic philosophy, (2) the relationship between classical and radical empiricism, and (3) the historical question of where to situate a view such as de Laguna's in the history, the present, and the future of philosophy. I suggest that the view belongs with a group I call the ‘Ne…Read more

64Post-Cultural Studies: A Brief IntroductionEidos. A Journal for Philosophy of Culture 7 (4): 78-84. 2023.Preview: This is a relatively brief reflection on where we are with our “culture” in the present, a time when Politics has done a great deal of damage to our communicative purposes and hopes. Our culture has become a “post-culture,” we believe, in a sense to be defined here. It is hard enough to say what one means by “culture,” so the challenge of describing what “post-culture” means will be greater. It should be attempted because there has been a deep-seated change, in recent decades, in how hu…Read more

W badaniach nad sztuczną inteligencją naukowcy zaproponowali ruchomy punkt docelowy do momentu osiągnięcia sztucznej inteligencji. Zaczęło się od testu Turinga i ewoluowało przez dużą ilość argumentacji (np.
