Alfred North Whitehead for the Muddleheaded (7209 words)
Whitehead calls himself an empiricist, by which he means a philosopher who takes all of human experience into account, including vague, primitive experiences, such as sleepiness, as well as the clear experiences, like a lightning flash.
Whitehead's God is not the same as the world, and nor is the world a part of God, but they are both forms within the process of enjoyment and desire.
Whitehead asserts first, that the soul is a personal society of serial occasions piled on one another; and second, that perception in the primitive mode of causal efficacy, plus introspection, provides the only information that gives meaning, life and warmth to the dry digital data from the five senses.
