Publisher's Synopsis
It seeks to mutually inform psychology and Whitehead scholarship by encouraging psychologiststo research in a Whiteheadian atmosphere and Whitehead scholars to engage with psychology.Bold speculations balanced by "complete humility before logic, and before fact"(Process and Reality, 1929, corr. ed., p. 17) are especially valued.The WPN Workshops were launched in 2002 in Fontarèches (France). The provocativepapers gathered here are of two kinds: on the one hand, philosophical discussions of thepresent state of affairs in psychology lato sensu; and, on the other hand, critical studies ofthe relevance of the imaginative generalizations of Whitehead for psychology and of theimpact of contemporary psychology on Whitehead's system of thought.Dr Paul Stenner is Professor of Social Psychology at the School of Psychology, The OpenUniversity (Milton Keynes, UK).Dr Michel Weber is Adjunct Professor at the Department of Educational Foundations, TheUniversity of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, Ca).
