^{page 27 note 2} This account of course presupposes a metaphysics in which events, though something in themselves, are also related, and it requires an epistemology which can explain how we come to know these events-in-relation. Here I must be content to refer the reader to Whitehead's philosophy which I believe provides us with both.
