italic title Process and Reality is a book by Alfred North Whitehead that propounds a philosophy of organism , also called processphilosophy . The book, published in 1929, is a revision of the Gifford Lectures he gave in 1927 28. Processphilosophy lays the groundwork for a paradigm of subjectivity , which Whitehead calls a completed metaphysical language. p. 18 quotation We diverge from Descartes by holding that what he has described as primary attributes of physical bodies, are really the forms of internal relationships between actual occasions. Such a change of thought is the shift from materialism to Organic Realism , as a basic idea of physical science. Process and Reality , p. 471. A signal technical feature of Process and Reality is the way its ontology is grounded in mereotopology , a mathematical formalism combining mereology mereological and topology topological notions.

The philosophical investigation of love includes the tasks of distinguishing between the various kinds of personal love asking if and how love is can be justification justified asking what the value ethics value of love is and what impact love has on the autonomy of both the lover and the beloved. There are many different theories which attempt to explanation explain what love is, and what function it serves. It would be very difficult to explain love to a hypothetical person who had not himself or herself experienced love or being loved. In fact, to such a person love would appear to be quite strange if not outright irrational behavior. Among the prevailing types of theories that attempt to account for the existence of love there are psychology psychological theories, the vast majority of which consider love to be very healthy behavior there are Evolutionary theory evolutionary theories which hold that love is part of the process of natural selection there are Spiritualism beliefs spiritual theories which may, for instance consider love to be a gift from God there are also theories that consider love to be an unexplainable mystery, very much like a mysticism mystical experience .
