<div>From a discussion of Einstein&rsquo;s theories to an analysis of meaning, the philosopher offers a fascinating collection of essays on a wide range of topics. This is a collection of many of Whitehead&rsquo;s papers that are scattered elsewhere. It was the penultimate book he published, and represents his mature thoughts on many topics. Philosophical Library has done a great service by publishing a representative collection of his writings on the subjects of Philosophy, Education and Science. The portion on Philosophy includes five papers: &ldquo;Immortality&rdquo;, &ldquo;Mathematics and the Good&rdquo;, &ldquo;Process and Reality&rdquo;, &ldquo;John Dewey and His Influence&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Analysis of Meaning.&rdquo; The first three chapters consist of Whitehead&rsquo;s personal reflections illumined by flashes of his lively humor. They are picturesque and amusing. The remainder of the book consists of chapters on Philosophy, Education, and Science. They cover in depth his positions on many scientific and philosophical matters in an extraordinarily unified way. The final section of the book is devoted to excellent surveys of Geometry and Mathematics as well as a paper on Einstein&rsquo;s theories.</div>

Science and Philosophy

<div>Three essential philosophers on the nature of reality, the health of the human body, and the meaning of history. Science and Philosophy: An essential introduction to Alfred North Whitehead&rsquo;s life and philosophy. From personal reflections to his groundbreaking essay &ldquo;Process and Reality&rdquo; to an enlightening discussion of Einstein&rsquo;s theories, Science and Philosophy is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand one of the modern world&rsquo;s greatest thinkers. The Preservation of Youth: Capitalizing on his experience as a physician as well as his knowledge of classical and medieval principles of healing, Moses Maimonides provides a comprehensive theory of wellbeing. In this work he addresses common medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, hepatitis, and pneumonia, and makes recommendations on diet and exercise, sex life, and the underlying psychological causes of illness. Understanding History: Written during the height of World War II, these vigorous essays by Bertrand Russell present his influential theories on the nature of history. The title piece exposes the deadliness of the academic approach to the past, and shows how the reading of history can be a vivid intellectual pleasure. </div>

Great Philosophers Volume Two

<div>Three classic texts in one: essays by Alfred North Whitehead, an authoritative study of Otto Rank, and an essential reference book on hypnosis. In Science and Philosophy, Alfred North Whitehead presents his mature thought on topics ranging from education to science and mathematics; from the theories of John Dewey to Albert Einstein. These collected essays cover his positions in a deep and extraordinarily unified way. Austrian psychologist Otto Rank is one of the most influential figures of modern psychotherapy. A prot&eacute;g&eacute;´ of Sigmund Freud, he made significant developments in the fields of analysis, psychotherapy, counseling, education, and social work. In The Psychology and Psychotherapy of Otto Rank, social psychologist Fay B. Karpf&mdash;who studied with Rank&mdash;presents an authoritative analysis of his pioneering work and legacy. Dictionary of Hypnosis has been an essential text on the subject since its first publication in 1965. Written by psychology professor Dr. Ralph B. Winn, this wide-ranging reference book provides a substantial amount of information on the history of hypnosis and its various uses in contemporary medicine, psychology and other sciences. </div>

<div>The famed mathematician and philosopher takes readers on a journey into a new scientific age, exploring topics from relativity to religion.

Science and the Modern World puts scientific discovery into historical and cultural context&mdash;exploring the effects of science and people on each other. &ldquo;It is a work not only of the first importance but also of great beauty. . . . Vivid writing.&rdquo; &mdash;Nature</div>
