  64. . E.g., V. C. Chapell, “Whitehead's Theory of Becoming,” in Alfred North Whitehead: Essays on His Philosophy, ed. George Kline (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice‐Hall, 1963), pp. 70–80. Chapell is shown to have missed much of the point by David Sipfle in “On the Intelligibility of the Epochal Theory of TimeMonist  53 (1969): 505–18. Another writer, on whom Chapell seems to have relied for some of his understanding of Whitehead, is Adolf Grunbaum. For Grunbaum's understanding of Whitehead see his Philosophical Problems of Space and Time (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1963), esp. pp. 4E‐65 and chaps. 12, 15. Grunbaum says that Whitehead gives a “perceptualistic version” of the intrinsic measurability of time based on the “deliverance of sense,” which he clearly takes to be “sense perception”; cf. pp. 48–49. But this is to miss half–the more important half–of Whiteheads analysis. Also, C. I. Lewis has shown that Whitehead's defense of the intrinsic measurability of time is not at all based on so contingent a matter as the deliverance of sense but is securely grounded in the analysis of fundamental events or actual occasions (see “The Categories of Natural Knowledge,” in The Philosophy 4 Alfred North Whitehead, ed. Paul Arthur Schillp, 2d ed. [New York: Tudor Publishing Co., 1951 1, pp. 701–44). For a more recent misreading of Whitehead see Adolf Grünbaum, Modern Science and Zeno's Paradoxes (Middletown, Conn.: Wesleyan University Press, 1967), pp. 52–55. Here Grunbaum associates “perception” with “acts of consciousness”; thus “perceptual time” is said to be “mind‐dependent,” and so physical events are thought to be “tenseless.” Of course, if one insists that perception requites “mind,” the outcome is inevitable. But this, clearly, is to have missed nearly all of Whitehead's analysis of perception.
