Philosophy 20i: Seminary in Logic, spring semester 1927

Abstract

Notes taken by George Perrigo Conger and Paul Weiss during Whitehead’s seminary (an older word for ‘seminar’) on logic. These sessions were fundamentally different from his lecture course in that they were discussion based – with much time given over to presentations by students – and took place in the intimate setting of Whitehead’s home on Friday evenings, rather than a lecture hall. It covers roughly the same topics as Whitehead’s lecture course, namely metaphysics and the intersection of philosophy and science.
