The Interviews of Alfred North Whitehead

The Alfred North Whitehead Dialogues provide us with a unique window into the world of thought and philosophy in the early twentieth century. They are not just passing conversations, but rather deep and thought-provoking dialogues that address a wide range of philosophical, linguistic, social and historical topics. These conversations, recorded and carefully selected by journalist Lucian Price, take us to the salon of the British philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, where we find ourselves in the presence of thinkers, writers, and artists exchanging ideas and discussing pressing issues with depth and intelligence. The Egyptian writer and philosopher Zaki Naguib Mahmoud adds a new dimension to this book through his critical introduction in which he compares "Whitehead''s Dialogues" and "Dialogues on Arab Heritage."
