About this episode
In this episode Chris walks through Whitehead's model of "substance." What is substance? Can it be mental? Is it One thing or many? Can it be both? We talk the Uroboros and the coincidence of opposites, including a great anecdote from Alan Watts who said that bees and flowers (many) are in fact one organism, since they are mutually counter-dependent; you cannot have one without the other. We then look at how Whitehead synthesized the Many and the One; what Plato called the World and the World of Forms, Whitehead called Organism and Process.
Enjoy :)
