Abstract
I compare Whitehead's notion of adventure with Merleau-Ponty's notion of ambiguity. The actual occasion is an atom of adventure and an atom of ambiguity. The four phases of the actual occasion each require ambiguity. Freedom requires ambiguity. A prehension is a molecule of intentionality: it resembles the general body-world relationship. Commitment, understood as serial and cumulative decisiveness in an atmosphere of ambiguity, is essential to the definition of person. [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
