A.现代意义N.怀特海（1861-1947）对现代性固有的思想文化提出了直接而富有成效的挑战，这种文化充斥着科学、社会理论和哲学。与后现代主义和后结构主义更具破坏性的方面不同，怀特海对现代时代概念断层线的诊断并不意味着消极的相对主义，也没有赋予思想负面的作用。相反，他呼吁更新批判性思维。怀特海自己的，积极的，哲学的方法是基于成为，相对性，以及对主观性和社会的重新概念。这本书概述了怀特海的思想，并用它来重新定位当代社会理论中的一系列具体问题，即：语言和身体的关系;个人和社会;性别差异和自然概念;现实主义问题;社会概念;以及将资本主义视为过程。文章还对怀特黑德与朱迪斯·巴特勒的物质性和身体概念以及吕斯·伊利格瑞的自然、本质主义和性别差异概念进行了详细的分析和比较。
The contemporary importance of A. N. Whitehead (1861-1947) lies in his direct yet productive challenge to the culture of thought inherent in modernity that suffuses science, social theory and philosophy alike. Unlike the more destructive aspects of post-modernism and post-structuralism, Whitehead’s diagnosis of the conceptual fault-lines of the modern era does not entail a passive relativism, nor does it assign a negative role to thought. Instead, he calls for a renewal of critical thinking. Whitehead’s own, positive, philosophical approach is based on becoming, relativity, and a re-conception of subjectivity and the social. This book outlines Whitehead’s thought and uses it to re-orient a range of specific questions within contemporary social theory, namely: the relation of language and the body; the individual and society; sexual difference and conceptions of nature; the question of realism; the concept of the social; and viewing capitalism as process. It also provides detailed analyses and comparisons of Whitehead’s concepts with those of Judith Butler on materiality and the body, and those of Luce Irigaray on nature, essentialism and sexual difference.
