EPPERSON, Michael. Quantum Mechanics and the Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. New York: Fordham University Press, 2004. xiv + 261 pp. Cloth, $55.00--The central claims of this book are that the philosophy of Whitehead and quantum mechanics are intimately linked, especially in their incompatibility with "materialism," and that each of these can illuminate the other. The first half of the book mainly summarizes aspects of quantum mechanics and gives brief accounts of opposing positions in current controversies. A short "interlude" between the main sections discusses basic ...
