Prologue.
Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) is an English philosopher. Reason is an impulse toward empty concreteness. That impulse is not empty. It is a fundamental force that can give birth to something. This impulse of mind is appetition. It is an inherent agent of transcendental goals. Therefore, the empty concreteness is embodied as material enjoyment. Whitehead\'s reason cannot leave appetition. Jeong Yi-cheon of the Northern Song Dynasty, who developed Neo-Confucianism, also believes that the main body cannot leave the phenomenon. Whitehead advocates Plato, saying that all of the Western philosophy is just a footnote to Plato\'s philosophy. However, he overcomes Plato by creating his own organic philosophy. Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud are also Übermensch against the Platonic system. Plato\'s original sin is his ideology that isolates humans into the world and alienates humans for 2000 years. Idea corresponds to all phenomena in a monolithic and organic manner. Whitehead is a Copernican Übermensch. The Function of Reason is a lecture at Princeton University in 1929. This book is an easy condensed form of a long and difficult text in a summary format.
