Opening a Door to Whitehead. Review of The Lure of Whitehead edited by Nicholas Gaskill and A. J. Nocek

Ronny Desmet

Abstract

Upshot: Whitehead has been excluded from contemporary philosophy for a long time. Current fashions in academia have opened a door to Whitehead through Deleuze. The Lure of Whitehead is paradigmatic in this respect. All admirers of Whitehead’s philosophy should rejoice in this evolution - not, however, without realizing that the price is a selective appropriation of Whitehead.
