Alfred North Whitehead–and aesthetics
The Diagrammatic Thought RG continues thinking with the Whiteheadian notion of the world “as a medium” (see Process and Reality, Part II, Ch. IV, Sects IV to IX). Only, now we are adding the aesthetics layer to this notion, thinking affect, and focusing more on the concept of subjective form. We are reading Adventures of Ideas (Part IV) to complete our study of Process and Reality.
When: The group meets fortnightly on Fridays.
Where: The meetings happen on Zoom. For more information, see our Reading Groups page.

What does Whitehead mean by extensiveness?
Everyone is welcome!
