1220. Note Whitehead's distinction . . .

SCANNED PDF

Note Whitehead's distinction between "boundless, abstract possibility" and "the particular real potentiality from which each novel concrescence originates" (220 [336 f.]).

Note also his distinction between "the intervention of eternal objects" and "the objective intervention of actual entities belonging to any definite actual world" (220 [336 f.];d. AI: 242, where he appears to make much the same distinction by speaking of "the bare incoming of novel abstract form" and "the real operation of antecedent particulars imposing themselves on the novel particular in process of creation."
