Opis

Martin Heidegger s "Being and Time" can be broadly termed a transcendental inquiry into the structures that make human experience possible. Such an inquiry reveals the conditions that render human experience intelligible. Using "Being and Time" as a model, I attempt to show that Alfred North Whitehead s "Process and Reality" not only aligns with "Being and Time" in opposing many elements of traditional Western philosophy but also exhibits a similar transcendental inquiry.
With this reading, "Process and Reality" contains concepts much like Being-in-the-world, ecstatic temporality, and others found in "Being and Time." More important, this interpretation considers Whitehead s treatment of human experience paradigmatic for understanding his cosmological scheme in general. Finally, the results of this study are employed to sketch a phenomenology of holy experience.
