Randall E. Auxier is Professor of Philosophy at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. He is the author of Time, Will and Purpose: Living Ideas from the Philosophy of Josiah Royce.

Gary L. Herstein is an independent scholar with research interests in the philosophy of science, logic, and American philosophy. He is the author of Whitehead and the Measurement Problem of Cosmology.

Using a complete interpretation of Whitehead's philosophical and mathematical writings, this book argues that Whitehead has never been properly understood. It applies Whitehead's philosophy to problems in the interpretation of science, empirical knowledge, and nature, and develops a new account of philosophical naturalism.
