Geography, Environment, and the Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead

Peterman, William A.

Journal of Geography, 74, 9, 531-8, Dec 75

Modern Western philosophy and the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead reveal why geography has not been (but could be) at the forefront of the environmental movement. The dualism between man and nature of western thought has led to misuse of the environment; whereas Whitehead's philosophy recognizes harmony between man and nature. (JR)
