WHITEHEAD'S PROCESS METAPHYSICS
ANDREI CARPENEANUABSTRACT. The construing of cosmological enduring societies as metaphysical entities has left philosophy a bundle of contradictions. Whitehead's metaphysical notion of causal inheritance was never meant to be confused with the scientific generalization from the cosmological stability of orders. The framework of measurable time (conceptual physical time) is the conceptual framework for potential measurements, and hence concerns (potentially) objectified time.
