Researching the book, he spent time on the street with detective units and uniformed law enforcement personnel in Toronto and Vancouver. Allan lives in Southern Ontario with his wife, Katherine. Klappentext This book argues that Whitehead's introduction of God into his process metaphysics renders it incoherent. Replacing roles assigned to God with the powers inherent in finite entities, George Allan recovers a coherent presentation of the truth of time's primacy, using Whitehead's major writings.
