Transcribes the lecture notes and sketches by W. P. Beil, W. E. Hocking and Louise Heath taken at the time - notes that have only recently been discovered. Gives a unique insight into the evolution of Whitehead's thought during the months when he was drafting his seminal work, Science and the Modem World.

"This is a truly revelatory volume that helps to put more of the various pieces of the puzzle that is Whitehead's philosophical thought together ... It is certain that Whitehead scholars and enthusiasts all stand together in welcoming this valuable contribution." --Adam C. Scarfe, University of Winnipeg, Process Studies"This volume is an indispensable asset for any Whitehead scholar. The book shall also prove important for people interested in the history of the philosophy of science and the history of philosophy generally, since it tracks many unexpected parallels between Whitehead's specific outlook and the philosophies of Descartes and Spinoza, Leibniz and Kant, Russell and Wittgenstein, Husserl and Bergson. Last but not least, it documents a significant turning point in the philosophical development of one of the most important thinkers of 20th century. " --Rosen Lutskanov, Bulgarian Academy of Science, Balkan Journal of Philosophy
