experience of temporality are incompatible in the framework of a more systematic analysis. It is this gap between experience and analysis which underlies the dispute between Bertrand Russell, William James and Alfred North Whitehead over a theory of continuity. More specifically, the dispute is over the role that our crude feeling of continuous transition should play within the conceptualization of a more general theory of continuity. While Russell thought that the intuitive appeal to our feeling in the formulation of a theory of continuity must be rejected, James' and Whitehead's accounts of temporal continuity are not only consistent with our feeling but actually arise from it. A comparison of their different perspectives reveals the role such concepts as succession, duration, simultaneity, unity and multiplicity in the formation of a theory of continuity." /> Relation, action and the continuity of transition - Levanon Tamar | sdvig press
