Abstract
The philosophy of organism is as much concerned with permanence as with process, with eternal objects as with concrescence. Whitehead claimed that apart from actual entities (concrescence) there is nothing, but it is equally true that apart from eternal objects there is nothing. This is simply to say that both actual entities and eternal objects have a degree of finality about them which the other entities of the system lack. All other entities in the philosophy of organism are the result of the interweaving of these two.1Being and becoming, change and permanence, the static and the fluid, temporal and eternal, express the tension which Whitehead wanted to keep in balance. It has been observed that “Experience of total process cannot even deliver the insight that it is in process.”2 Whitehead, we think, would have agreed.
