I need help understanding a quote about literature by Alfred North Whitehead?
Q. Is a witness to the discord between the aesthetic intuitions of mankind and the mechanism of science . Nature cannot be divorced from its aesthetic values; and these values arise from the cumulation, in some sense, of the brooding presence of the whole onto its various parts. Thus we gain from {literature} the doctrine that a philosophy of nature {including human nature} must concert itself with at least these six notions: change, value, eternal objects, endurance, organism, and interfusion . Please help!

A. I don't believe so. For the knower, it is always possible to reduce any complex process or thought down to its simplest terms. Deep understanding is only manifested at this lowest level, imho.

There is a tradition of opposition between adherents of induction and of deduction.?
Q. There is a tradition of opposition between adherents of induction and of deduction. In my view it would be just as sensible for the two ends of a worm to quarrel . Whitehead, Alfred North (1861 - 1947) In N. Rose Mathematical Maxims and Minims, Raleigh NC: Rome Press Inc., 1988. What is the author of the statement saying about the nature of induction and deduction?

A. mathematical induction is not a species of induction but is a deductive tool. It is only called induction in the sense that it moves from case n to case n+1 but it does this deductively and not inductively in the general sense of induction. I think your question is not mathematical.

What is not philosophy?
Q. Here are a few of the questions that have been posted in the philosophy forum in the last few hours: Dead people will dream too? Can lucid dreaming lead to other types of things? Can an organization be like a pinball machine? What is life all about? What if I tell you I can live forever? When you are ultimately happy? Do you notice anything that they have in common? none of them have anything to do with philosophy. This is for questions about philosophy. For those of you who don t know what philosophy is or have no familiarity with it, you do not belong here. Questions in the philosophy forum need to be couched in either a question or statement about a newsflash! philosopher. If you don t know of any philosophers,… [cont.]
