- W31929027 abstract "In “Nature Alive,” the eighth chapter of his last book, Modes of Thought, Alfred North Whitehead writes that “the notion of life implies a certain absoluteness of self-enjoyment. . . [t]he occasion of experience is absolute in respect to its immediate self-enjoyment” (1938/1968, 150-151). In other words, life is a process of pure auto-affection. It involves a “self-enjoyment” that is both “immediate” and “absolute.” Self-enjoyment is “immediate” in that it happens pre-reflexively, in the moment itself. I enjoy my life as I am living it; my enjoyment of the very experience of living is precisely what it means to be alive. “The enjoyment belongs to the process and is not a characteristic of any static result” (152). Also, self-enjoyment is “absolute” in that it unfolds entirely in itself and for itself, without conditions. A living occasion is “absolute” in the etymological sense of this word: it is unbound, set free, released from all relation. Every moment of life is an autonomous “self-creation” (151). A living occasion must “be understood without reference to any other concurrent occasions” (151)." @default.
