Taking up Whitehead’s Invitation to Explore Our Immediate Experience | Bill Gayner
Eugene Gendlin's work—which Whitehead had a seminal impact on—help us move past the fallacy of misplaced concreteness. Heeding felt understanding gives us a disciplined resource for creative, adaptive thought and action. Bill Gayner will explore this experientially in a guided contemplation using as a starting point an excerpt from Whitehead’s chapter on philosophic method in Adventures of Ideas. We will then reflect on and discuss the experience including perhaps how these kinds of micropractices can scale up to support professional sensibilities and reflective learning, providing a platform for ongoing adaptation and innovation, and the light this may shed on Whitehead’s own practice.
