Examining and Comparing the Concept of Experience According to Hegel and Whitehead

Abstract

The discussion of experience by Hegel and Whitehead is based on a basic and similar basis, but it develops in two completely different directions. The basis of these two philosophers is about the experience of tying the discussion from it to what is existence; Although this topic is also different despite the similarities between them. Hegel sees the reality in becoming so that the soul reaches its final stage. Whitehead also respects the form but not the soul and considers whatever he experiences as reality. This is why, in examining and analyzing the experience between these two, although we can find the presence of this common basis everywhere, we see that in most cases these two are distinguished from each other. In the current research, we have tried to show these aspects of "similarity" and "difference" between these two philosophers by placing the concept and characteristics of experience between Hegel and Whitehead as the basis and using the works that we were able to study.
