"The Concept of Nature" by Alfred North Whitehead is a series of lectures that aims to reshape how we see science by questioning common ideas about matter. The writing explores how different areas of knowledge connect, especially within the natural sciences. It starts by laying out the purpose of the lectures, focusing on nature as something that changes over time and is made up of different parts working together. The author introduces important ideas like how we use our senses, how we think, and the different kinds of thinking we do, using these as tools to bring different scientific viewpoints together under one complete picture of nature.
