Whitehead Quotes

'The terms morality, logic, religion, art, have each of them been claimed as exhausting the whole meaning of importance. Each of them denotes a subordinate species. But the genus stretches beyond any finite group of species.' (MT) 'Philosophy is an attempt to express the infinity of the universe in terms of the limitations of language.' (Autobiog.) 'The doctrines which best repay critical examination are those which for the longest period have remained unquestioned.' (MT) '[I]n the development of intelligence there is a great principle which is often forgotten. In order to acquire learning, we must first shake ourselves free of it. We must grasp the topic in the rough, before we smooth it out and shape it.' (MT) More on Peter's site here

Peter received a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a Master's degree in Continental Philosophy from the University of Warwick, where he was awarded a first-class distinction for his dissertation on Kant and Schelling in relation to 'intellectual intuition'.
