Noch immer verstehen wir die Natur im Zeichen ihrer modernen "Bifurkation", einer Gabelung, wie sie der Philosoph Alfred North Whitehead beschrieb. Die Natur ist von Spaltungen durchzogen: zwischen primären und sekundären Qualitäten, aber auch zwischen Lebendigem und Totem, Subjektivität und Objektivität, Schein und Wirklichkeit, Werten und Tatsachen, Menschlichem und Nichtmenschlichem. Doch können diese großen Gegensätze, die einst die moderne Erfindung der Natur prägten, ihren Anspruch auf Geltung auch heute noch behaupten?»Vom Reiz des Möglichen« zeigt in seiner Wiederaufnahme...

Didier Debaise's reading of Whitehead shows clearly what a philosophy that makes this possible looks like, how it works and what is at stake. He focuses in on Whitehead's attempt to...
