An unfortunate consequence of Whitehead’s work is that it has been used to scaffold various theological studies that attempt to disprove truths about God, for example His immutability. Or to dismantle any real understanding of the omnipotence of God… one of the most damaging and dangerous of such works is a book called “God, Power and Evil” by David Ray Griffin, a retired philosopher of religion and one of the key advocates of process theology.

So much as the quote you’ve posted here is amusing… every time I read Whitehead’s name in print I can’t help but to inwardly cringe… sorry, that wasn’t the desired effect of your posting this at all, was it?

Surely he should have seen this from his mathematics. With the collapse of Hilbert’s dream to reason out the universe he should have realised that others have tried to pick up the philosophical pieces. They have seen that there are issues far beyond Plato’s analysis.

Personally, I think Plato got it wrong in assuming the law of non contradiction. To blindly assume it (or see it as an axiom ) leaves a shaky credibility.

A person created in God’s image, with the ability to know what God reveals, is in a critically different position. Then, and only then, is the Law of Non Contradiction given its proper place.
