懷海德 (Alfred North Whitehead)
數學家與過程哲學家
關於
阿佛列·諾思·懷海德(1861–1947)是英國數學家與哲學家,與伯特蘭·羅素(Bertrand Russell)共同著有《數學原理》(Principia Mathematica),這是數學基礎領域最重要的著作之一。他後來發展出過程哲學,主張現實的本質並非靜態的物體,而是動態的「生成」歷程。他所批判的「錯置具體性的謬誤」——將抽象模型誤認為具體現實——為理解 AI 的局限性提供了一個深刻的思考框架。
主要貢獻
- 與伯特蘭·羅素共同著有《數學原理》
- 發展過程哲學,作為機械論形上學的替代方案
- 提出「錯置具體性的謬誤」概念
- 著有《歷程與實在》及《科學與現代世界》
- 思想深刻影響神學、生態學與科學哲學
