Abstract

In this paper I make a case for a number of common themes between Quine and Whitehead in their approach to ontology, especially when Quine's views are compared with Whitehead's work on the foundations of physics.  The main focus of this comparison is an ontology of events consistent with twentieth-century relativity physics.  I further explore Quine's rejection of an ontology of properties in favor of classes and question the extent to which Quine's theory can make sense of the boundaries of space-time regions without recognizing the existence of properties.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
