The title of this book, Adventures of Ideas, bears two meanings, both applicable to the subject-matter. One meaning is the effect of certain ideas in promoting the slow drift of mankind towards civilization. This is the Adventure of Ideas in the history of mankind. The other meaning is the author's adventure in framing a speculative scheme of ideas which shall be explanato..more

Back at the Edwardian turn of the century, many Cambridge dons considered Alfred North Whitehead’s capacious mind to be one of the most prodigious of the entire younger set. Yet we rarely hear of him now..
Why’s that?
Well, for one thing, his humility was legendary. He never attracted attention to himself.

For a philosophical treatment of the effect of ideas' on history and culture, this book was a veritable page-turner. I had read Part I probably over a year ago, and was all amped to continue, when the book disappeared from the living room coffee table. When it turned up last month in our black hole of a garage, I tore back into it, even though Blood Meridian was currently holding my interest, and, oh yeah, I was then living with a one-month old in my house. I tore into it and didn't stop until I..more

I like Whitehead. In his writing he comes off optimistic, liberal, humane, urbane and interesting. He seems like a good decent person. He I would guess believes in a very liberal form of Christianity. Like most decent and humane Christians he honestly tries to engage with modern science and the enlightenment. At the same time being an optimistic Christian I sense that he wishes for some divine purpose to the Universe an impulse almost universal to people. He is a liberal humane and scientifical..more
Brilliant at times. Utterly annoying at others. I enjoyed Whitehead's description of philosophy at the end of Chapter 6. He also seemed to possess some kind of prophetic power concerning the dangers of unbridled capitalism. Had I flipped ahead (or paid closer attention to the table to contents), I might've understood the significance of his seemingly senseless history of human civilization and his apologia for Hume and Plato. You have to harden yourself to the obviously Occidentalism in Whitehea..more

This book is more ambitious than its title, which suggests a primer for youths interested in philosophy, might indicate. Then one comes to the final chapters and gains a full grasp of what the terms “adventure” and “ideas” signified for the author. Adventures of Ideas represents an integral part of Whitehead’s lifelong quest to reestablish metaphysics in a way that takes seriously challenges to previous metaphysics raised by sensationalist views of the human mind (Locke through Hume) and positiv..more
My only criticism is the old-fashioned ethnocentrism inherent throughout. On the whole, however, Whitehead was an amazingly progressive thinker whose perspectives, though often difficult and clothed in his own metaphysical terminology, are interesting and sometimes sublime.

Alfred North Whitehead's 'Adventures of Ideas' of 1933 could be two separate books. Parts I and II ('Sociological' and 'Cosmological') show a fine thinker considering the history of ideas and the rise of civilization. There are interesting propositions on every page, presented with refreshing clarity of thought. It is not a fast read but is accessible.
Parts III and IV ('Philosophical' and 'Civilization'), perhaps except for the early chapters, are not for the general reader but rather for studen..more

Whitehead travels loose but deep within ideas supporting human understanding/control over nature and over ourselves. The fun here comes from his provocative argument often saying that civilization is composed by patterns of behaviour + emotion + belief but it also need adventurous actions (e.g., his own) to keep things evolving. To conclude that “religions are often more barbarous than the civilizations in which they flourish”. Go for it if you feel adventurous!
Wonderful book. It has a permanent place on my bookshelf.
My undergraduate degree in philosophy focused on Whitehead. This was prior to my own conversion. While I now am quite critical of Whitehead, I acknowledge him as an import modern thinker.
A Classical Whitehead- Style Book , with an amazing flow of ideas , Coherent contents. I really liked it.
