Whitehead e il Nuovo Realismo: Per una filosofia del concreto, tra senso comune e scienze

The present paper aims at comparing

Maurizio Ferraris’s new realism and Alfred North

Whitehead’s realism. To reach this goal, the paper is

divided into three parts. The first one focuses on

their similar conceptions of philosophy, its task and

boundaries; the second one addresses the issue of

unamendability in their thoughts. Finally, after explaining

the fallacy of misplaced concreteness and the

pivotal role of perceptual experience in Whitehead’s

philosophy, the third part presents his ‘organic realism’,

which gives further contribution to the current

debate.
