S2E79 - What the Hell is an Actual Entity

About this episode

In this episode Chris highlights his beef (so far, anyway) with Alfred North Whitehead's model of reality--Philosophy of Organism. He poses the questions that beg for an answer and highlights where Whitehead fails to be clear. Just what the hell is an "Actual Entity"...or an "Eternal Object" for that matter? Whitehead tells us that experience arises from "primary data" and that "a thing" mediates between Potentiality and Actuality. He then waits pages and pages to clarify, with mixed success. I may be taking issue more with his writing style than with the substance of his metaphysics. Listen and let me know if I'm being naive, if I'm missing something, or if my criticisms are valid.

Enjoy ;)
