과정철학의 관점에서 고찰한 아인슈타인의 상대성이론

Abstract

It examined how you could interpret a principle of relativity of Einstein in a concept of the process philosophy of white head. We can get three kinds of conclusions. It is the point that recognized the magnitude of the 'relation' with both for an essential figure naturally first. When it is an element of the true ultimate, Whitehead insists on 'event' and 'actual entity' that it cannot think about itself when it right leaves the meaning significance. Einstein was limited in a physical field, his special theory of relativity tied up the time-space, energy-mass. It went step further and proved that mass (energy) had influence that it could not separate on the time-space in the general theory of relativity. In other words, it can tell you that it is to have formed a structure of the universe that seems to be today through space, energy, an end between the mass of relationships at time. The second, thing about the different point that a relativity concept of Whitehead has with Einstein. It was certain that Einstein recognized the magnitude of relations, but it completely wiped out a thought for 'absoluteness' and was not able to leave. It gave absoluteness to velocity of 'light' in the special theory of relativity and 'mass' in the general theory of relativity. It expanded an extended claim to the area of so-called philosophy (ontology) to speak by insisting on the theory of relativity to have a meaning because white head got away from the limitation called the scientific field called the physics in the magnitude of relations, and all things had relations each other. The third, two people have a difference of the point of view for the substance of nature. Though Einstein recognized the magnitude of relations and completely changed a way of thinking of the universe for the structure of the universe, the substance of nature was not able to get away from what way of thinking that had a material as ever. Whitehead showed a concept innovative (the whole area) to an entity concept in a lifetime. It is 'event' and 'actual entity' immediately. He did a claim that substance was inherent in a different subject. This is the claim that cannot be possibly understood in the concept called continuing substance having a material.
