Alfred North Whitehead’s The Organisation of Thought critiques fragmented epistemology by framing knowledge as logical coordination—a dynamic synthesis of organic unities where abstract concepts (e.g., mathematical laws) and concrete experience cohere through systematic relationality. He dismantles the fallacy of misplaced concreteness—reifying abstractions like "force" as standalone entities—and advocates synthetic thinking, harmonizing speculative generalization (e.g., relativity theory) with empirical immediacy via symbolic reference. Central is the rhythm of thought, oscillating between imaginative generalization (hypothesis formation) and analytic precision (verification), while prehensions—non-conscious integrations of relational data—structure coherent understanding. Whitehead’s theory of abstraction posits that scientific models (e.g., atoms) derive from extensive abstraction, filtering the eventful continuum into manageable patterns. Though less cited than his later works, this text influenced systems theory (Bertalanffy’s holism), educational frameworks emphasizing integrative learning, and interdisciplinary methodologies, cementing Whitehead’s role in bridging scientific rigor and philosophical depth for holistic knowledge architectures.
