>Thus an electron within a living body is different from an electron outside it, by reason of the plan of the body; the electron blindly runs either within or without the body; but it runs within the body in accordance with its character within the body; that is to say, in accordance with the general plan of the body, and this plan includes the mental state. -Alfred North WhiteheadDoes 'matter' have a 'mental state'? No, but in Whitehead's Process Ontology actual entities are dipolar, meaning they have a physical and mental monopole(which are not actual entities themselves).
