Advance Praise and Reviews "Andrew M. Davis has written the finest introduction to Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy available today." --Ilia Delio, OSF, Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair in Theology Villanova University

In Whitehead's Universe, Andrew M. Davis offers a comprehensive yet conversational introduction to Alfred North Whitehead's prismatic philosophy. Weaving together biographical detail and explanatory insight, he guides readers around the prism of Whitehead's mind, revealing its many lights and colors in relation to various contemporary debates. From history to philosophy, and from theology to cosmology, and civilization, Davis shows how all sides of Whitehead's universe spin together in a grand adventure of ideas. Written for students and newcomers alike, Whitehead's Universe includes chapter summaries, a glossary of essential terms, and a chronological glimpse of Whitehead's life. These and other features make it an indispensable resource for the exploration of process philosophy.
