Philosophy Of Organism




Central to this school is the idea of Concrescence . Concrescence means that "we" (con prefix) cre- (create) scence (sense, or the "scene," that which is seen), the Present is given by a consense of Subjective Forms . We are multiple individuals, but there are also multiple individual agents of consciousness operant in the construction of the given. This called by Marvin Minsky the 'society of mind.'

Whitehead's " Subjective Forms " compliment "eternal objects" in his metaphysical system. Eternal objects are Plato's archetypal Forms . In Process And Reality , Whitehead proposes that his 'organic realism' be used in place of classical Materialism .
