AI Overview

In Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy, a hybrid prehension is a combination of different types of prehensions, such as physical and conceptual prehensions:

Physical prehensions: Involve other actual entities/occasions
Conceptual prehensions: Involve eternal objects
Positive prehensions: Involve what is included in an actual entity/occasion
Negative prehensions: Involve rejecting entities/occasions and concepts

Whitehead also described other types of prehensions, including imaginative and anticipatory prehensions.

Prehension is the experiential activity of an occasion, where characteristics of one occasion become present in another. For example, an occasion may prehend certain qualities of its past, such as a shade of red or a proposition.
