The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
What, exactly, is an event?
Here are a few of Whitehead's characterizations:
"a complex unity, whose ingredients involve all reality beyond itself, restricted under the limitation of its pattern of aspects"
"... a function of unification of a plurality of things which are other than [itself]"
"... an activity, organising a real togetherness of alien things"
All quotations are from SMW: 216 f.
