Alfred North Whitehead

Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) was an English mathematician and philosopher. Educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, he became a fellow there and later taught at University College London and Imperial College London. With Bertrand Russell he co-authored *Principia Mathematica* (1910–1913), a landmark work in mathematical logic. In 1924 he moved to the United States to teach philosophy at Harvard University. Whitehead developed a distinctive metaphysical system known as process philosophy, presented most fully in *Process and Reality* (1929). His later writings also addressed science, education, and the relationship between philosophy and modern physics.
