Im not just talking about One person (subjectivity) im talking about everybody (ALL). Im talking about form, im talking about content. Im talking about interrelationships. Do you understand?! Finally!!! ****It should be clear that Whitehead’s actual occasion concept is not applicable only to human “experiences” but is an ontological notion that extends a model of experience to all natural processes. Whitehead’s “philosophy of organism”, in other words, was not content with extending the concept of experience to include the life-processes of biological organisms. For him, the real challenge was to posit a unitary philosophy of radical immanence (with nothing “outside” of nature) capable of expressing the continuity that exists between high-grade human experience, at one extreme, and the subject matter of physics, at the other: An occasion of experience which includes a human mentality is an extreme instance, at one end of the scale, of those happenings which constitute nature. But any doctrine which refuses to place human experience outside nature, must find in descriptions of human experience factors which also enter into the descriptions of less specialized natural occurrences. If there be no such factors, then the doctrine of human experience as a fact within nature is mere bluff, founded upon vague phrases whose sole merit is a comforting familiarity. We should either admit dualism, at least as a provisional doctrine, or we should point out the identical elements connecting human experience with physical science**** Mastodon - Shadows That Move
