Hardcover. First Edition. 215 pages. American university studies, series 5, philosophy: volume 42. First edition (first printing). A very good hardcover copy; no dust jacket, as issued. Inscribed by the author on the first free endpaper: 'To Steve - / with warm / regards / Michael. / Novemer 1987.' From the Harvard office library of the paleontologist and leading advocate for evolution, Stephen Jay Gould. With a tipped in bookplate indicating the provenance. Intellectually, Gould understood the true nature of these bookplates, but the book collector in him appreciated them. In his essay 'A Seahorse for All Races' Gould writes about one of his prized possessions, a book from Charles Dickens' library: 'Dickens made no annotations, but a bookplate on the cover, presumably inserted as a come-on for a sale after Dickens' death in 1870, does prove that [he] kept and shelved the book.' We offer our Gould bookplates, printed letterpress in two colors, in the same spirit. Socrates has come to represent the pure joy of intellectual inquiry, and the Socratic dialogue embodies a special style of logical inquiry and also a clear framework of philosophical information. The intellectual grandfather of Plato's student Aristotle, Socrates still lived at a time when the distinctions between physical science and psychology, linguistics and aesthetics, mathematics and rhetoric were not rigid fences: all philosophical attacks were fair weaponry when trying to understand a problem. In 399 B.C., philosophers could not blithely speak in the language of modern science - using space-time continua or four dimensions or relativistic frames of reference or genetic codes to hide innumerable elemental assumptions about the nature of human understanding. Moreover, Socratic philosophy was always centered around people. Instead of a dense constructure of interlaced and multilayered scientific concepts, Socrates had only his hands and his feet, and the trees, the houses, the mountains, and all the people in the Agora, the marketplace of Athens. Michael Katz has taken advantage of Socrates' world - his style, his perspective, his times, and some of his important themes - to explore the perpetual problem of complexity: Is our world incondensably complex? If so - where and why? And, what does this mean for the kinds of understandings with which we must be satisfied? Codice articolo 202290
