SUMMARY:Whitehead’s Universe (Group B Launch)
DESCRIPTION:This is a five-week rolling course throughout 2026 with our partner and friend at the Center for Process Studies\, Andrew Davis. Please learn more\, contact and register at whiteheadsuniverse.com. \nDr. Andrew M. Davis’s five-week online introduction to Whitehead’s Universe is returning in 2026! \n“Process philosophy” is wider than any single thinker\, yet Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) remains its defining figure for the modern world. His “philosophy of organism” offers a profound vision of reality as dynamic\, relational\, and always alive with possibility and value. His wife Evelyn once compared his thought to a prism: “It must be seen not from one side alone but from all sides…as one moves around it\, the prism is full of changing lights and colors.” \nThis course invites students\, lifelong learners\, and the philosophically and theologically curious to explore the many sides\, lights\, and colors of Whitehead’s universe—ranging from the microscopic to the cosmic\, and always in relation to human experience as an expression of the cosmos. \nCourse Structure & Schedule\nThe course unfolds over five live Zoom sessions\, running on a rolling schedule throughout 2026. Two initial iterations with respective US Pacific and US Eastern groups are now open for registration: \nJanuary-February \nGroup A: Meets Wed\, 5:30-7:30 PM\, PST (1/14\, 1/21\, 1/28\, 2/4\, 2/11).\nGroup B: Meets Fri\, 5:30-7:30 PM\, EST (1/16\, 1/23\, 1/30\, 2/6\, 2/13). \nMarch-April \nGroup C: Meets Wed\, 5:30-7:30 PM\, PST (3/4\, 3/11\, 3/18\, 3/25\, 4/1).\nGroup D: Meets Fri\, 5:30-7:30 PM\, EST (3/6\, 3/13\, 3/20\, 3/27\, 4/3). \nReadings & Resources\nPrimary readings are provided and are drawn from Dr. Davis’s forthcoming book Whitehead’s Universe: A Prismatic Introduction. Supplementary readings are also available for those who wish to dive deeper. Participants are encouraged (but not required) to contribute to weekly forum discussions and a write a short concluding paper. \nWhy Join? \n\nEngage directly with Whitehead’s transformative vision in an accessible yet rigorous way.\nParticipate in live discussions with a close community of seekers and lifelong learners.\nReceive early access to draft materials from Dr. Davis’s upcoming book.\nExplore one of the most creative and relational visions ever to emerge in the history of philosophy and theology.\n\nWhat Are Students Saying? \n\n“…I want to say how incredible our Whitehead course was. I am still reeling from all I learned…”\n“…Your lectures and your book in progress have been everything I hoped they would be\, and more.”\n“I immensely enjoyed the class and especially love the very approachable engagement with metaphysics in your book!”\n“Your class was transformative for me.”\n\n  \nFor more information\, download the syllabus and register at whiteheadsuniverse.com.
