The Revelation of Whitehead's Philosophy of Creativity on Innovations in Idea
Huang Ming · Ziran bianzhengfa yanjiu · 2010
The ultimate category of Whitehead's philosophy,namely creativity,correlates with actual occasions and eternal objects,which are respectively the actual embodiment and potential premise of creativity.Creativity is innovation's principle of cosmology.The essence of creativity is the various combinations of eternal objects.Or put in different terms,it is embodied in the reconstruction of ideas,the actualization of propositions and the introduction of patterns,which deals with the relationship between the abstract and the concrete,or the general and the individual.Such innovations in idea are of great significance to the development of science,education and civilization.
