Dr. David Mitchell
Quote of the Hour
"But the conception of the world here adopted is that of functional activity. By this I mean that every actual thing is something by reason of its activity; whereby its nature consists in its relevance to other things, and its individuality consists in its synthesis of other things so far as they are relevant to it. In enquiring about any one individual we must ask how other individuals enter 'objectively' into the unity of its own experience."
— Alfred North Whitehead, Symbolism, Its meaning and effect (pg. 26-27)
