Abstract

Poetic Philosophy Through Concrescence and Ingenium: Whitehead and Cicero

By Jarred Seth Herren
This thesis details what it means to be poetic philosophy in reference to Whitehead's Process and
Reality scheme as illuminated by Cicero's De Oratore. The first chapter outlines the basic
elements of Whitehead's metaphysics. The second chapter details Whitehead's notion of
concrescence and discovers the poetic elements within. The third chapter discusses Cicero's De
Oratore, and its unique format as relative to Whitehead. The conclusion to the work harmonizes
Whitehead and Cicero as poetic works through Vico's verum-factum principle.
