Quantum mechanics and the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. Epperson, M. Fordham University Press, New York, 2004.
abstract   bibtex   
"This book is the first extended analysis of the intricate relationships between relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and Whitehead's cosmological scheme." "Moving systematically - concept by concept, phase by phase - Michael Epperson illuminates the intersection of science and philosophy in Whitehead's work. He details Whitehead's struggles to fashion an ontology that would be coherent with quantum anomalies, one that can reshape the sense of strangeness or inconceivability of many important physical notions.". "Including a nonspecialist introduction to quantum mechanics, Epperson adds an essential new dimension to our understanding of the architecture and meaning of Whitehead's metaphysics - and of the constantly enriching encounter of science and philosophy in our century."–BOOK JACKET.
