Whitehead e il Nuovo Realismo: Per una filosofia del concreto, tra senso comune e scienze

The present paper aims at comparing Maurizio Ferraris’s new realism and Alfred North Whitehead’s realism. To reach this goal, the paper is divided into three parts. The first one focuses on their similar conceptions of philosophy, its task and boundaries; the second one addresses the issue of unamendability in their thoughts. Finally, after explaining the fallacy of misplaced concreteness and the pivotal role of perceptual experience in Whitehead’s philosophy, the third part presents his ‘organic realism’, which gives further contribution to the current debate
