Summary/Abstract: It is something absolutely natural that in Whitehead’s philosophical and essayistic works one meets names like: Plato, Locke, Descartes, Hume or Kant. It is equally natural that in Principia Mathematica the onomastics are of a completely different nature. This is how it happens that here we will meet names like Nicod, Zermelo, Peano, Cantor, Dedekind or Frege. Names as appropriate as possible with the content of the works. On the other hand, one cannot help but wonder why in the philosophical and essay-like works you find the occurrence of ‘Caesar’ no less than 37 times. We intend to discuss the presence of this occurrence in some of Whitehead’s works in the following text.
