Mathematical notation is disregarded in this book while mathematical deduction is discussed. The Concept of Nature details the branches of philosophy and physics without mathematics. Its theme is to lay down the basis of natural philosophy which is an important inference of the theory of physics.

Alfred North Whitehead OM FRS was a British mathematician and philosopher. He is renowned for his process schools such as process philosophy and process theology, which in the present day has utilized various disciplines, ecology, theology, education, physics, biology, economics, and psychology.

Whitehead wrote principally on mathematics, logic, and physics. His ultimate work in these sciences is the Principia Mathematica in three volumes, together written with Bertrand Russell, his former student. Principia Mathematica is one of the great works in the twentieth century centering on mathematical logic, and ranked 23rd in the top 100 English-language educational books by Modern Library.

Aside from mathematics to philosophy of science, he also studied comprehensively on metaphysics. He acquiesced a broad metaphysical system which is among the fundamentals of western philosophy. Currently, Whitehead's philosophical texts, basically the Process and Reality, are considered as the academic works of process philosophy.
