Abstract

Whitehead defines philosophy as "the self-correction by consciousness of its own initial excess of subjectivity."  Whitehead's own effort in its intention fully conforms to this conception though in conceiving process in terms of subjective immediacy he undermines his own purpose.  This is not due to a flaw in whitehead's speculative scheme but to the nature of the cosmological analysis in general.  Cosmology as such consists in a naive realistic ontology which is a contradiction in terms in that naive realism is a nonphilosophical, mythopoeic posture which cannot be assimilated into the philosophical perspective which of necessity is a self-conscious activity.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
