Actual Occasions

nature as an event – there is no holding nature still and looking at it

.

Nature is that which we observe in perception through the senses. (Whitehead, The Concept of Nature, p. 3)

(…) the immediate fact for awareness is the whole occurrence of nature. It is nature as an event present for sense-awareness, and essentially passing. There is no holding nature still and looking at it. (Whitehead, The Concept of Nature, p. 14,15)

‘Actual entities’ – also termed ‘actual occasions’ – are the final real things of which the world is made up. There is no going behind actual entities to find anything more real. (…) The final facts are, all alike, actual entities; and these actual entities are drops of experience, complex and interdependent. (Whitehead, Process and Reality, p. 18)

(…) the actual world is a process, and that (…) process is the becoming of actual entities. Thus actual entities are creatures; they are also termed ‘actual occasions.’ (Whitehead, Process and Reality, p. 22)

nature (what else?) – some ‘events’ last short, others last longer – ‘creatures’ – what / who is creating?

enjoy form (including your own form) – enjoy composing – enjoy what is not there yet – allow nature to pass
