N. Whitehead’s highly unorthodox non-modern naturalism. For his attempt to rescue life from modern self-styled naturalists points to the need for a would-be naturalist  to `let the dialectic go,’ as Victor Lowe put it. That is, to enlist the `method’ of  `imaginative generalization’ as the proper way to do speculative metaphysics. Whitehead’s reasonings thus in effect  illustrate a `living’ (or `artful’) reason that renders otiose his elaborate attempt in <em>Process and Reality</em> to construct a systematic, comprehensive theory of actuality based upon a formal categoreal scheme. For his writings actually show how to frame a vitalistic metaphysics based upon a  metaphysical imaginary that revolves about the most salient characteristics of a wisely ensouled human self.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Cosmos and History: The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy}, author={Code, Murray}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={305–326} }
