At a time when scientific thought had come to dominate perceptions of reality, Whitehead argued that our bodily understanding of nature ― registered in poetry, art, religion, and ethics ― form equally valid pictures of reality. He draws our attention to the dynamic, interconnected network of processes that make up individual experience. Adventures of Ideas offers a detailed history of humanity's endeavours to understand the nature of things. In essence, Whitehead explores how ideas shape civilization. In Science and the Modern World he investigates one such idea, that of 'scientific materialism' and how it has come to organize our modern understanding of the world. Whitehead scrutinizes the authority of science in the world because he believed philosophy is 'the architect of the buildings of the spirit' reasoning that the two must be kept in conversation in order to develop a holistic 'philosophy of organism’.

Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) began his career writing primarily on mathematics and logic. His book Principia Mathematica (with Bertrand Russel) is widely considered one of the most important texts in mathematical logic of the twentieth century. Later turning to the philosophy of science and metaphysics, he pioneered process philosophy, which looks at reality as a constantly evolving, interconnected web of events and processes rather than a collection of fixed substances. Adventures of Ideas and Science and the Modern World reflect on the power of general ideas – about humanity, God, and the universe – to shape the course of civilization, the latter book focusing particularly on the influence of science.
