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 iin 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 iin 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 iin 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 iIn 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 it.

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.

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.

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 entitieIn 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 entitiein themselves, rather than as actualized in temporal actual entitiein temporal actual entities.

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.&raquIn 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.&raquin the full sense of exercising action and suffering effects.»

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).
