You could look at what has been written about Whitehead and what he has written.

As cosmologists go, the Postmodernism of Alfred Whitehead contrasts amusingly with the Leftism of Olaf Stapleton but is unrelated to the Americanism of Peter Chambers.

Thank you so much for the links! I did a quick scan and they look verrry interesting. I'm too tired now though to give them the attention they deserve, so it'll have to wait until the morning. Thanks again!

For Lurkers: The article at Link 4 is most helpful in understanding Whitehead's philosophy of becoming (process).

Thank you so much for the links, Doc! Unfortunately I haven't had the time to read them yet. A-G has given them "a good review." So tomorrow I will print them out as hard copy, GBC-bind them, and study them ASAP.
Of course, also today I received from Amazon an intriguing book that 2ndreconmarine suggested I read: Timothy Ferris' The Whole Shebang: A State-of-the-Universe(s) Report (1997).
Looks like I need to schedule some serious "reading time" in the very near future....
Thanks again, Doc!
