Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

2nd Edition. Printed in England. First printing of the 2nd Edition, with Additions. Notice to the Second Edition, Preface by the editors to the First Edition, Notes, Appendix, Index; xvi, 681 pages. This old tome is of mixed condition: The original maroon cloth has rubbing on the boards' surfaces and at the extremities; the spine is bumped and has several chips, despite having been shellacked at some point; most of its gilt lettering is still legible. Also, there is about a one-inch split starting at the top of the rear joint. All that said, the binding remains strong, with the interior creamy-bright and clean with an occasional pale freckles on a few pages. There are just two 'bites' out of the top corners of two leaves---preface and contents---no text affected. The end-papers are a rich brown with cracking just starting at the hinges. [Please see my four images of the actual book.] Chapters: Life of Aristotle, Aristotelian Canon, Categoriae, De Interpretatione, Priora I & II, Posteriora I & II, Topica, Sophistici Elenchi, Physica & Metaphysica, De Anima, Ethica, Politica and, in the Appendix: The Doctrine of Universals, First Principles, Sir William Hamilton on Aristotle's Doctrine, Aristotle's Doctrine, Metaphysica, De Coelo, Epikurus, and The Stoics---A Fragment. Added to this second edition are two important Essays on the Ethics and Politics of Aristotle. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.

Descrizione dello Store

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.
