Item Description
8vo. 8 x 5.25 inches. xi + [i] + 202 pp. Bound in original brown cloth, gilt, in price clipped dust wrapper with light foxing on rear wrapper and edge wear at head and tail of spine, which is slightly sunned. Minor wear to extremities and spotting of top edge; otherwise a very good copy. Signature on first free endpaper. Decorated by publisher's device on title page. In this introduction to philosophy the author concentrates on two central topics - explanation and meaning. He takes the argument far enough to acquaint the reader first hand with the methods and approach of analytical philosophy, and yet because of the scope of these two topics he is able to introduce many of the traditional philosophical problems in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, and logic. (from blurb on front inside dust wrapper). Chapters cover explanation in science, history and literature. By Daniel M. Taylor, formerly of the Department of Philosophy, University of Liverpool (1962-66) and a lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Kent from 1866.
