Wikipedia's article on Alfred North Whitehead, the philosopher and mathematician known for process philosophy and process theology's foundational metaphysics, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as his academic career and major works, and less reliable for evaluating the substance of his own metaphysical system, which philosophers and theologians continue to interpret and apply in different ways. Use it for basic biography; a claim built on Whitehead's own philosophical arguments needs his primary text or a dedicated study of process thought.
