Abstract
The present paper is essentially a case study in the history of philosophy. Its main task is to describe the life and work of theorist whose lifetime work was rather largely omitted in Czech-Slovakian learned community: Anglo-American mathematician, physicist and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead. His life-story is sometimes abbreviated as a „story of three cities“: Cambridge (England), London and Cambridge (Massachusetts). The paper is focusing on some important moments in philosopher’s life (his education and maturation, his religious development) and tries to emphasize them as a key issues to understand his lifetime project. At the very end some remarks concerning the reception of Whiteheads thoughts in Czech-Slovakian milieu are added.Since 2019, TEORIE VĚDY / THEORY OF SCIENCE journal provides open access to its content under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).
