This chapter introduces the main theses of this book: to defend an event ontology in the fashion of Whitehead, Russell and Quine against the traditional substance ontology, and to examine the plausibility of this theory within the contemporary quest for a unified theory of physics.

Event Ontology

This chapter investigates the influence of Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory, Einstein’s relativity theory and the early quantum theory on the development of the event ontology in the 1920s with particular focus on Whitehead’s view. These were the three key ideas that led to a transformation of our view of reality as comprised fundamentally of energy events. The two main themes of this chapter include: (1) physical evidence in support of an ontology of events, and (2) the increasing unification of physical theory until we arrive at the current state of two highly successful, unified theories that are presently disunified within the search for a comprehensive, unified theory.
