This article summarizes the underlying points of Whitehead's first systematic critique of the 'materialistic' theory, which dominated modern scientific reasoning, as well as the philosophical motivation of his criticism of modern epistemology that originated as a result of a specific link towards science. Together with an outline of Whitehead's critique, this study offers a number of illustrative quotes from the works of thinkers against whom Whitehead delineated his own philosophy since his own texts do not systematically come to terms with primary literature. In conclusion, this study sketches out the key traits of Whitehead's own position representative of the particular phase of his thinking under scrutiny.

This article proposes to deconstruct the philosophical foundations of the Anthropocene based on Whitehead’s philosophy or cosmology. After questioning the scientific or geological validity of this notion and having shown how this notion was inseparable from the question of technology, it brings to light its philosophical foundations by isolating three moments in the history of philosophy. Philosophically, the Anthropocene is founded on the idea that human beings are essentially different from the other living beings, among other things, in their technical capacities. These three moments correspond to three different representations of technology: (1) the Promethean moment of ancient Greece. In this time, technology is understood as a “know-how” (“savoir-faire”). It saves humans from the certain death that their nakedness promises to them. (2) The modern moment of Descartes who defines technology as a power. (3) The contemporary moment of Heidegger for whom modern technology is a huge peril. From this point of view, the “general organology” that Canguilhem introduced corresponds to a first questioning of this cosmology. After defining “general organology,” this paper shows how and why it fails to deconstruct the Anthropocene. This paper finally presents Whitehead’s cosmology that ultimately offers a better weapon to deconstruct the Anthropocene.

I try to answer a question opposite to Kant's question, namely I don't ask if the metaphysics is possible as the science, I ask if the science is possible as the metaphysics? I carry on controversy with Ted Harrison's metaphysics of intelligent design (with the metaphysics of projected universes).
