While they may not reach a huge audience, chapbooks can be appreciated
as a physical object in a way that many contemporary books can not.
Not exact matches
That the bragging happened a decade ago doesn't change the reality that a man who might be president sees half the country's population not just
as objects for his own aesthetic gratification — we knew that thanks to the beauty pageants and the string of model wives — but
objects for his
physical gratification
as well, regardless of how the women
in question feel about it.

in search of life.
Bread is not forgotten and,
as the symbol of life's
physical basis, is made an
object of request
in the Lord's Prayer.
Later (
in the nonitalicized text, minus the sentence
in brackets), when Whitehead has developed the notion of God
as unfettered conceptual valuation, he realizes that divine conceptual feelings, since many pertain to unrealized eternal
objects, can not possibly be derived from
physical feelings.
Because Whitehead himself usually explains this operation by way of a common eternal
object which is illustrated
in all the actual entities of the nexus, the significance of a transmuted feeling
as a feeling of
physical community
in the actual world is often overlooked.
the claim can be illustrated more complexly
as follows: My present subject (actual entity) and contemporaneous actual entities
in the
physical object do not constitute a nexus.
That is, the form is received
in matter as it is in any physical change, but also the form is received without matter, that is, it is possessed in disassociation from the sentient's material constitution.3 In virtue of this second mode of reception, the sensible thing is something more than an agent; it becomes an object for an experiencing subject — though this is not, of course, how Aristotle expressed i

physical object with which it is causally correlated, not to another experience.
We
object to the materialistic approach
as unempirical and excessively abstract
in its representation of
physical reality.
In Whitehead's system a
physical feeling is the perception of a past event
as distinguished from a «conceptual feeling» which is the entertainment of an eternal
object.
This is not to close the door between the laboratory and the sacristy, rather the opposite; what we discover from the natural sciences can not be hermetically sealed off from philosophy and theology
as though it were some totally separate area of wisdom.If the primary
object of
physical science is the
physical realm
in its inter-dependant relationships, the
object of metaphysics is the very same
physical realm
as it relates to the spiritual.
Take, bless, break, give — the bread was taken and offered to God; thanksgiving was said over it — and here we need to recall that for the Jew, all blessings have always been
in the form of a thanksgiving to God for the
objects which are to be blessed; the bread was broken,
as Christ had done at the Last Supper and
as His
physical body was broken on the Cross; the bread was given — distributed, so that the believer might partake of it and thereby,
as the Church believed, partake of Christ Himself and become one with Him.
A cardinal number is defined ill Principia
as a complete class of equi - numerous classes (of
objects); thus every change
in the number of
physical objects will alter the meaning of each number.
In a physical feeling, an eternal object is felt as immanent, while in a conceptual feeling, the eternal object is felt as transcendent (see PR 239
In a

in a conceptual feeling, the eternal object is felt as transcendent (see PR 239
in a conceptual feeling, the eternal
object is felt

But God
as a
physical entity was largely rejected by theologians and philosophers because they thought that God was not one
object among other
objects in the world.
The mass attributed to ordinary
objects is required
as an independent parameter
in predicting the motions that result from the interactions among a system of
physical objects.
The three characteristics which make the human individual a truly unique
object in the eyes of Science, once we have made up our minds to regard Man not merely
as a chance arrival but
as an integral element of the
physical world, are
as follows:
But whereas most modern philosophers have taken
as their paradigm case Ms. Smith's visual experience of a
physical object, Whitehead takes
as the paradigm case the causal efficacy of Ms. Smith's immediately past occasion of experience
in the present one, or Ms. Smith's present prehension of that past occasion.
For, the activity of lifting out an eternal
object and feeling it
as an eternal
object, i.e.,
as a pure possibility
in abstraction from all
physical realizations, is a matter of degree.
An eternal
object is «neutral
as to the fact of its
physical ingression
in any particular actual entity of the temporal world» (PR 70), but there can be no actual entity apart from creativity.
The units of which the world is made up were thought to be material particles which remained unchanged
in themselves
as they moved about
in space and formed the diverse configurations which made up the
physical objects in our world.
In that concept, God was devoid of any physical dimension, being rather an entirely conceptual act of valuation of pure eternal objects, that is, of eternal objects in themselves, rather than as actualized in temporal actual entitie

The reason why Whitehead believes that it must be independent is that only if it is a system of relations independent of the changing, variable,
physical characters of material
objects can it serve
as a frame of reference
in terms of which the self - congruence of material
objects under transport — which makes them suitable
as measuring standards — can be determined.
By considering the simplest instance of the
physical ingression of eternal
objects as in the case of two sensa (PR 115 / 176f), we see that the
physical ingression of any eternal
object requires the concurrent ingression of at least two other nonidentical eternal
objects so that an actual contrast obtains.
Neither Newton nor Whitehead ascribes to a purely relative theory of space and time structure, that is, a theory which would maintain that any selected system of material
objects may serve
as a suitable framework
in terms of which to analyze
physical reality.
Therefore, no system of material
objects may serve
as a frame of reference and be completely suitable for the purpose of analyzing
in terms of laws the motions of material
objects; for such laws of motion should be stated
in such a manner that they are unaffected by the peculiar absence or presence of inertial forces
in particular
physical frames of reference.
In the general theory of relativity it has, as von Weizsäcker has said, become a «physical object in the full sense of exercising action and suffering effects.&raqu

God's existence
as an actual entity;
in other words, does not derive from God's
physical prehension of the other entities but derives from the divine entity itself, where God is not only the source of creativity - esse but is also the source of all possible characterizations (eternal
objects).
The
physical pole also includes the prehension of the eternal
objects as they are embedded
in those other actual entities.
I suggest that the note regarding
physical and scientific
objects in the second edition of the Enquiry be taken
as a break on Whitehead's part with the position spelled out
in the body of the book insofar
as that position, because of its phenomenalistic orientation, rules out the possibility of the above - mentioned type of explanation.
If we follow the doctrine
as developed
in the text, neither
physical objects nor scientific
objects will meet this requirement of transcendence;
physical objects are discriminated within nature
as are, for that matter, scientific
objects which are defined
as the last stage
in a series of abstractions (PNK 188).
Thus,
in one sense, the
physical world,
as the class of all
physical objects, can be taken
as derivative from nature (when by nature we mean the phenomenalistic
object of perceptual knowledge).
An eternal
object is «neutral
as to the fact of its
physical ingression
in any particular actual entity of the temporal world» (Process and Reality, An Essay
in Cosmology 70), but there can be no actual entity apart from creativity.
Thus,
physical feeling wells up into our attention
as a companion of our increase
in emotion toward the
object, and we feel both heightened attention to the
object and a strengthened sense of relationship to the world and the
object as part of the world.
Thus, Bergson's proto - mentalism is also interpretable
as the positive face of the critique of simple location.4 The fallacy of simple location is the basis for the view,
in both
physical and logical atomism, that the «individuality of the atom [and of
objects in general] is based precisely on its [or their] ontological separation from other simply located entities» (BMP 309).
Besides the
physical benefits of being outdoors, for the purpose of
physical activity, other valuable learning opportunities may also arise
as your children encounter
objects in nature or other subjects that captivate their attention.
As one can classify the shapes of
objects based on the mathematical concept called topology, an exotic phase of quantum matter can be understood with underlying topology and symmetry
in physical materials.
«It looks like important
physical objects, such
as curved space - times... emerge naturally from entanglement
in tensor network states via holography,» writes physicist Román Orús of Johannes Gutenberg University
in Germany.
Kuhn says the equivalent
in physical objects is the mechanical tolerances used
in manufacturing — one side of an
object might be specified
as 300 ± 1 millimetres, for example.
Rather than treating space - time
as an empty arena
in which
physical events unfold, Penrose postulates that
objects called twistors build the fabric of space - time from the ground up.
However, if the speed increases beyond a threshold, the
object will suddenly experience a large upward positive lift, like an airplane wing,
as Patrick Bot of the Naval Academy Research Institute
in Brest, France, and Marc Rabaud of the University of Paris - South and colleagues report
in a paper
in press at
Physical Review Letters.
Instead of using a simple sphere and varying its material parameters and size, they begin with an arbitrary
object — a random collection of 160 spheres — and show that they can always adjust the synchronization and polarization of the individual waves
in the beam to create an attraction,
as they also reported online 10 November
in Physical Review Letters.
Words that originally had only concrete or external meaning (like «grasping» a
physical object) have grown to have meaning
in the realms of the abstract and internal (
as in «grasping» an idea).
Accepting space and time
as forms of animal sense perception (that is,
as biological), rather than
as external
physical objects, offers a new way of understanding everything from the microworld (for instance, the reason for strange results
in the two - slit experiment) to the forces, constants, and laws that shape the universe.
Furthermore, recent studies suggest that this network is already involved
in identifying numbers by young children who are not yet at school, and that it is very ancient
in evolution,
as it is present when macaque monkeys recognise
physical objects.
Cosmologists typically focus on the large - scale properties of the universe
as a whole, such
as galaxies and intergalactic medium; while astrophysicists are more interested
in testing
physical theories of small - to medium - sized
objects, such
as stars, supernovae and interstellar medium.
Major advances
in computational design,
physical modeling and rapid manufacturing have enabled the fabrication of
objects with customized
physical properties — such
as tailored sneakers, complex prosthetics, and soft robots — while computer graphics research has seen rapid improvements and efficiencies
in creating compelling animations of physics for games, virtual reality and film.
Second, both
objects appear to be true point sources
in the images, which is evidence that they are real,
physical objects in space
as opposed to optical glints, stray reflections, or other instrumental signatures
in the instrument.
Conduction and thermal radiation are two ways
in which heat is transferred from one
object to another: Conduction is the process by which heat flows between
objects in physical contact, such
as a pot of tea on a hot stove, while thermal radiation describes heat flow across large distances, such
as heat emitted by the sun.
