This, after all, is what we should expect, given that eternal objects and actual entities are the fundamental
types of entities in Whitehead's ontology and that «the other types of entities only express how all entities of the two fundamental types are in community with each other, in the actual world» (PR 37).
The other fundamental
type of entity in Whitehead's philosophy is called the eternal object.

It is that, while Laszlo centers upon patterns

of entities of the world, Whitehead focuses on a primordial
type of entity, the actual occasion, whose basic processes are found only
in its kind and not reiterated
in larger arrangements such as nexus and societies.
Whitehead also stated (
in the paragraph from which Nobo quoted) that the «mutual immanence
of contemporary actual

For Whitehead has definitely recognized that when the distinction is made into
types of entities the problem requires to be faced not merely as to how they are related to each other, but how they are related
in respect
of «being.»
Furthermore, since even these items that might indeed be susceptible

in human occurrences.
That is, what I am maintaining is that the ultimate basis upon which Whitehead has distinguished the different «kinds» or «
types»
of entities is the different senses
in which they «are.»
Whitehead's summary delineation
of these
types of «
entities,»
types or kinds
of «existence,» is listed
in Chapter II, Section 2
of Process and Reality as the «Category

of Existence.»
(3) Nevertheless, it may seem that

Here is what Whitehead said
in 1911 about the theory
of types: «All the contradictions can be avoided, and yet the use
of classes and relations can be preserved as required by mathematics, and indeed by common sense, by a theory which denies to a class — or relation — existence or being
in any sense
in which the
entities composing it — or related by it — exist» (MAT 293).
We shall confine attention
in this chapter to the simplest
type of abstract
entity.
In Whitehead's cosmology, however, some types of derivative abstractions are constituents in every actual entit
In Whitehead's cosmology, however, some
types of derivative abstractions are constituents
in every actual entit
in every actual
entity.
Mathematics then, being defined
in terms
of the infinity
of types, is dependent upon the lowest level
of individuals interpreted as unspecified
entities of the physical world.
She says, «The
type of immortality which a process conceptuality suggests is subjective, retaining the living experience

entity, but it transcends personality... «11 And she adds,»... the boundaries

in the temporal world.
While an event is relative
in being internally related to other
entities of the same logical
type; which it requires by a necessity that is «particular and definite,» a species or genus is relative only
in that it requires, by a necessity that is «generic or indefinite,» one or more intentional classes (
of individuals or
of other more specific kinds), all
of which are only contingently nonempty (1970a, l0l f., 103, 109).
If, on the contrary, they are taken strictly,
in any one
of the senses they have when applied solely to
entities within a single logical
type, he is equally justified
in holding that they are then used
in the same sense, and, therefore, are literal, not analogical, even when applicable to God.
In the first place, a civilized society is a secondary type of entity derived exclusively from the social interrelationships of its constituents, and is not, therefore, a concrete one in any sense of the ter
In the first place, a civilized society is a secondary
type of entity derived exclusively from the social interrelationships
of its constituents, and is not, therefore, a concrete one
in any sense of the ter
in any sense
of the term.
But, then, there is something else that he very well could say that would render his apparently contradictory statements consistent — namely, that, although such terms as «absolute» and «relative,» or «necessary» and «contingent,» explicate the meaning
of more than one logical
type, and thus apply to
entities within these different
types in correspondingly different senses, rather than
in simply the same sense, they nevertheless apply to the different
entities within any single
type whose meaning they
in some sense explicate, not
in different senses, but rather
in the same sense.
Thus the status
of a civilized society is equivalent to that
of a Society per se
in that both
types of «
entities» are composed
of constituents which are ontologically superior to the whole
of which each
of those constituents is a component.
Thus Hartshorne holds that the term «feeling,» for instance, can be said to be analogical
in this sense because, or insofar as, it applies to all
entities of the logical
type of individuals, including the unique individual God, but does so
in suitably different senses to all the different kinds or levels
of individuals, with its sense being infinitely different
in its application to God (1962, 140).
When Hartshorne says that there is a sense
in which analogical terms apply literally to God and, therefore, simply are literal
in this application, what he means by «literal» is not that such terms apply to God
in the same sense
in which they apply to any other
entity of the same logical
type, this being, as we have seen, what he otherwise takes «literal» to mean.
That is, just as a Society is metaphysically a derivative
type of existent inasmuch as its constituent actual
entities are ontologically ultimate, so
in an equivalent fashion, a civilized society is metaphysically secondary inasmuch as human beings are more real, ontologically speaking, than is the larger civilized society.
That a Society has both essential and accidental qualities thus enables it to be a
type of entity which endures throughout change as a «complete existence» with an ongoing historical development
of its own: it remains what it is essentially and yet changes accidentally
in «reaction to changing circumstances.»
This is not to say that time is an
entity in its own right or that it has an independent nature
of its own, as if it differed

of movement1 or

Thus, just as
in Whitehead's categoreal system the two first - mentioned elements, absolute concreteness and unique occurrence, are united
in the concept
of a determinate, fundamental, categoreal existence (the concept
of an occasion or actual
entity), so the corresponding counter-elements, absolute abstractness and the character
of abiding existence [lmmer - Gewesen - Sein], are joined together
in another concept
of an opposite categoreal
type, that
of an utterly abstract
entity, which always was and always is, which Whitehead calls an eternal object.
But the reality
of Spirit is a matter
of degrees, depending upon the
type of unity achieved

in different ways.
This is why it is necessary to develop a «one - substance cosmology,» i.e., one
in which there is only one
type of actual
entities (PR 29; cf. 28).
Moreover, would we not be justified
in distinguishing ontology, that is, the theory
of being as such, from the theory
of concreteness, since the system
of all the basic
types of entity must exhibit some commonality among those
types, however formal and empty it may be?
Thus Whitehead posits a
type of entity wholly neglected
in ordinary reductionistic accounts.
He developed an understanding
of another

Disagreements with the principle
of relativity (that it belongs to the nature
of every being to be a potential ingredient
in the becoming
of actual
entities), the principle
of process (that how an actual
entity becomes constitutes what it is), or the ontological principle (that only actual
entities can exert influence) would be
of this
type.
This ideal realization
of potentialities
in a primordial actual
entity constitutes the metaphysical stability whereby the actual process exemplified general principles
of metaphysics, and attains the ends proper to specific
types of emergent order.
In Locke's phraseology the objectified actual
entity is then exerting «power
In this
type of objectification the eternal objects, relational between object and subject, express the formal constitution
of the objectified actual
entity.
Whitehead needs to establish the fact that at least one
type of objectified
entities are actual
entities in order to escape the solipsism
of the present moment, as he himself notes (PR 81/125, 152/230 -231).
Closures
of this
type provide a basis for understanding how
entities,
in interaction with others, can be «divisible but undivided».
