The received interpretations of Whitehead's thought, Nobo shows, have ignored the mutual relevance of the solidarity thesis and the organic categoreal scheme and, for that reason, have grossly misrepr...
A Forgotten Genius

Perhaps it is an error to conclude that merit is the final test to which fame is brought, that the guerdon of praise is the ultimate and certain recompense of genius. We know that it has sometimes happened that men whose work has eventually proved to be good and even great, have been for years, perhaps for g...
