Abstract :
English philosopher Whitehead (1861-1947) argues that all existence in the universe is being conditioned by a transcendental condition in order to live the pleasure of beauty. According to him, every singular subject passes on its experience to the others and activates their positive experiences in its own existence, in the correlation of intrinsic way of relationship with others. This situation is related with singular subject’s aim of living the beauty in broadly defined experience area. According to Whitehead, truth is the first step of the emergence of this transcendental condition of the existence in the universe. Singular objects firstly activate their own tikel experiences, comprehend the objective immortality of past over the relationship with truth in order to live the pleasure of beauty in which they are conditioned. They establish the relationship between past, present and future according to coherence principle through considering the positive probability of future for future emergence of new experience state. For this aspect, this new experience state, which appears through considering the relations with reality, is a coherence state. According to Whitehead, universe aims at producing beauty and does not make possible for truth being dull with this transcendental aim. Relationship between beauty and truth that is derived from the coherence of contrasts is more comprehensive and open to innovations than a relationship of truth that is derived from the absolute coherence of only two factors. This is the only way for the human being to penetrate the miraculous deepness of the universe.
