Philosophy of Organism—with John Dotson

February 1, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

In the philosophy of organism, Alfred North Whitehead finds that reality consists of vibratory events of self-realization, processes growing out of processes in societies of societies. Each nexus of the cosmo-organic process brings together the World of Facts and the World of Values. Actual occasions arise from the primordial nature of God in all things as they are persuaded toward definite outcomes in accord with the Principle of Concretion—then advancing or perishing into the consequent nature of God. Every actual occasion creates a finished unity and brings into being a pattern of integrated feeling. Permanent value emerges as the “World passes into everlasting unity.” Among the Whiteheadian expressions that are useful in analytical psychology are the fallacy of misplaced concreteness, the fallacy of simple location, and the fallacy of a perfect dictionary.
