Jan D’s Reviews > A Key to Whitehead's Process and Reality > Status Update

something on Hume. Not sure if serious praise or irony or both.

Perception and not agreeing with Hume.

So, societies and nexūs. It make a bit more intuitive sense cause nexūs can be things we refer to with words. But it is increadibly broad: A dot, a laughter and 'relations of Rome to europes history' are all nexūs. So that limits the "its intuitively understandable"-feel again.
And I notice again that the German Wikipedia article on Process and Reality is the best intro there is.

I learned about prehensions. It was difficult, as I do not know if I understood a lot. In some sections there are rather lucid and understandable comments but with the rest being so hard to read, I am unsure if my intuitive understanding of "…it is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true" are coherent with the rest. Very frequent feel when reading Whitehead.

Seems soon a chapter about the marcoworld is within grasp and maybe stuff makes more sense there than in atomar level we dwelled in so far.
Reading "Modes of Thought" and "Science and the Modern World", Whitehead has been relatively generous with examples, but Process and Reality has very few.

Slow slow slow progress. Every few words I need to look up some concept. At least there is a glossary, which is pretty good.

Slowly, but steadily. Adding a lot of references back and forth, ’cause so many terms.

I might actually read this further than Process and Reality itself? The language is still pretty obscure (after all, it is a copy-paste of the original with some comments added), but it is at least relatively easy to find pages where something was explained earlier and the glossary is excellent.
