The philosophy of time

Wolfe Mays

pp. 66-78

Whitehead was acutely aware of the problems which arise if one does not want to dismiss the time of our direct human experience as a merely illusory reaction on the part of our minds to the physical world. Although interested in time as a human phenomenon, Whitehead was also concerned to show its relation to the time of scientific thought, which he regarded as only dealing with certain formal relational aspects of our changing human experience.1
