Process and Reality
Albert North Whitehead wrote this book on the topic of process philosophy which argues that change is fundamental to reality. This work puts into place a logical system of ideas that can be used to interpret our experiences. Whitehead's main use of this line of thinking was arguing that the Christian God is relational in nature. Process and Reality is also known to be a rather difficult work to read due to it being such an immersion of Whitehead's thoughts. -
