Charles Hartshorne vs. Alfred North Whitehead
Side-by-side comparison of two thinkers
Charles Hartshorne
1897 – 2000
Charles Hartshorne was an American philosopher who concentrated primarily on the philosophy of religion and metaphysics, but also contributed to ornithology. He developed the neoclassical idea of God and produced a modal proof of the existence of God that was a development of Anselm of Canterbury's ontological argument, which influenced Gödel's ontological proof.

"A man really writes for an audience of about ten persons. Of course if others like it, that is clear gain. But if those ten are satisfied, he is content."
