About this product
Product Information
Unearthing the Unknown Whitehead argues that it is Alfred North Whitehead's recently published Harvard lectures, and not his books, that contain the truest record of the development of his philosophy, including the false starts and dead ends that the published works obscure. This development could previously only be inferred as taking place in the gaps between books. It thus calls for a complete reconsideration of Whitehead's philosophical corpus. Joseph Petek critically evaluates the accuracy and reliability of the student accounts of Whitehead's recently published Harvard lectures and then examines these notes, along with a number of previously unknown essays, in order to trace previously unknown aspects of Whitehead's philosophy and the development of his thought. Additionally, neglected early letters between Whitehead and Bertrand Russell appear to reveal a precise point at which he began transitioning from his long career in mathematics to a new career in philosophy. Two previously undiscovered essays-"Religious Psychology of the Western Peoples" and "Freedom and Order"-display Whitehead's concern for a creeping hyper-nationalism that is intensely relevant in today's political climate, along with terminological experiments that stretch our conceptions of Whitehead's philosophy in new directions.

Having long labored in the mines of the Critical Edition of Whitehead, no one is more knowledgeable about the gems unearthed in the undertaking than Petek. Written in a clear and direct style, this volume marks an important new stage in contemporary Whitehead studies informed by the careful study of these the previously unpublished works. Unearthing the Unknown Whitehead is necessary reading for serious Whitehead scholars. -- Brian G. Henning, Gonzaga University Joseph Petek's Unearthing the Unknown Whitehead is a meticulous study of aspects of the workshop of Whitehead's thought, its coming to be, as it where, steeped in intense historical research that has produced new documents and enriched our understanding of Whitehead's wide-reaching correspondences and influences. The result is unique in its character and has opened new venues for the appreciation of the complex ways in which Whitehead's thought was developed in conversation with historical and contemporary figures. Not to be missed! -- Roland Faber, Founder and Executive Director, Whitehead Research Project Petek's book is essential reading for anyone interested in the Whitehead Critical Edition project. The author helps one to understand the possible importance of the two volumes of Harvard Lectures published thus far, as well as the significance of some previously unpublished lectures and letters by Whitehead. Both methodological and substantive questions are treated with great care, such that the relationship between Whitehead's early career and later, explicitly philosophical career are illuminated in ways that were previously impossible. -- Daniel A.

Ok so I ordered this item listed as having free shipping. It was listed at $43.54 with free shipping. Somehow I ended up being charged $65.52. Then after waiting 3 weeks and having absolutely no tracking information I spoke with the seller who agreed to send a replacment, but despite charging me extra money was unwilling to ship that replacment in a way that wouldn't take atleast 3 more weeks. Ultimately this was a complete waste of time and the seller is not one that I would recommend.

This is not a coloring book!!!!! It’s just a book of black and white photos and even if colored over would look horrible! This book is a scam and I have received 2 items out of 3 I ordered and the third hasn’t even been shipped. Tried to message seller but only option given is to send the item number but no way to give reason for dissatisfaction with item! I would advise not ordering anything from this seller…
