Abstract
Kuntz begins his book by asking, “Why is yet another interpretation [of Whitehead’s philosophy] needed?” and answers that “This book is a sustained effort to make clear his philosophy as the discovery of the many orders that together are our cosmos.” Kuntz examines “order” as it appears in Whitehead’s philosophies of education, mathematics, nature, civilization, experience, and metaphysics. The merits of the book are, first, that it attempts to explicate Whitehead’s philosophy without getting deeply involved in the technical terminology of Process and Reality. This makes the book much more readable for the novice to Whitehead’s thought. Second, Kuntz makes widespread use of the lesser known of Whitehead’s essays and books and quotes from them extensively.
