Abstract
Progress in philosophy, like that in science, consists primarily in the enlargement of viewpoint effected by discovering new conceptual schemes under which previously irreconcilable views become complementary rather than antithetical. Such a conceptual transformation in philosophy is analogous to a scientific revolution. The present need for such a transformation is illustrated by arguing that traditional thomism is inadequate to describe man's interrelationship with God, comparing unfavorably in this respect to the philosophy of Whitehead. It is suggested that a wider viewpoint is needed under which the metaphysics of Thomas and of Whitehead may be found complementary rather than antithetical. [Abstract from The Philosopher’s Index]
