This paper treats Becoming and Subject in Whitehead’s philosophy. Becoming for his philosophy is the consistent subject from his middle period to the latter period. In the middle, it is the event where he starts his argument when he talks about becoming. Then, it is by our sense-awareness as kind of subject that we grasp event primarily. However when it comes to thinking about sense-awareness including event and object which determines it, these becoming becomes vague. In the middle, whether the concept of ingression that objects determine event concerns with becoming or not also becomes vague. On the contrary, by considering concept of becoming in the latter period correlatively with subject, the becoming becomes not so vague as in the middle period, and it becomes possible to talk about becoming clearly. Subject in the latter period is qualified in becoming event differently from the middle period. In the latter period ingression that object determines event is very becoming itself. Thus we can talk about becoming clearly and systematically. This paper comes problems in the middle to light and show that, by the latter period solves these problems. Whitehead’s philosophy of becoming comes out to be clear.
