Move to Harvard University
Whitehead was invited by Henry Osborn Taylor to join the faculty at Harvard University to be a professor of philosophy. This is a significant event in his lifetime because during his time at Harvard he will produce his most important contributions to philosophy. Harvard is where he began teaching on process and metaphysics. -
