Those who wish to contribute to the Whitehead Encyclopedia may contact the editors. Prospective contributors are generally expected to hold a PhD or terminal degree and have published scholarly work on the entry on which they wish to write. See the Whitehead Encyclopedia‘s editorial policies for more information.
“Thematic” entries should provide (i) a broad contextualization of the issue at stake; (ii) a focus on Whitehead’s treatment (if any) or of a possible Whiteheadian treatment of the issue; (iii) a history of relevant scholarship; (iv) a personal assessment by the author.
“Biographical” entries should provide (i) a brief vita of the targeted thinker; (ii) a sketch of his/her categories relevant to Whiteheadian scholarship; (iii) a personal assessment of the actual (or possible) Whiteheadian semantic transfer to or from the thinker.
