Abstract

The greatest relevance of Alfred North Whitehead’s work, in my opinion, has to be related to the interpretation and understanding of the theory of relativity. Whitehead’s same philosophy as ‘meta-physics,’ or ‘pan-physics’ has to be considered a transition from a logico-mathematical philosophy to a physical philosophy, to a cosmological philosophy rooted in his interpretation of relativity. He understood motion as a structural series of temporal events, avoiding permanent material bodies and refuting any interpretation of four-dimensional space-time as a kind of eternal permanence.
