The Act of Reading as a Constitution of Society of Actual Occasions
Original language description
Wolfgang Iser's book The Act of Reading can be considered one of the most interesting descriptions of the process of reading a literary work of art. When Iser tries to present the act of reading as a situation-building process, he refers to Whitehead's Science and Modern World and stresses that a literary text can never be grasped as a whole but "only" as series of changing events. In my view this is a satisfactory interpretation, but the scheme of Whitehead's philosophy is not fully developed in Science and Modern World. I will try to show that Whitehead's later notion of society of actual occasions is very suitable for the understanding of the act of reading.
