Two kinds of entries are weavedtogether in order to interpret Whitehead and to read him fromthe vantage point of interdisciplinary and crossdisciplinaryresearch. The thematic entries provide a broad context for theissue at stake; focus on Whiteheads treatment (if any) or a possibleWhiteheadian treatment of the issue; give a history of relevantscholarship; present a personal assessment by the author. Thebiographical entries provide a brief vita of the targeted thinker;a sketch of his/her categories relevant to the Whiteheadianscholarship; and a personal assessment of the actual (or possible)Whiteheadian semantic transfer to or from the thinker.
