2000129210London: St. Augustine's Press. New. 2000. Hardcover. 1890318477 . - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - - SIGNED BY AUTHOR -- NEW - Personal view by this conservative British philosopher. - "Scruton a don at London University and a British TV personality sets out to do philosophy rather than talk about it. He succeeds to a large extent in making the subject accessible engaging the reader in philosophic thinking. Scruton inquires into truth time God freedom morality and even sex carefully explaining who he believes is right and who is wrong in their opinions on the subjects. For instance he warns against Nietzsche and Michel Foucault and champions everyone who believes in persons with souls and free intentions and who believes in the sacred and enchantment in the world. In addition to such authoritarian judgments Scruton sometimes gets caught up in fighting internecine battles especially against the view that genuine knowledge can only be scientific; then the clarity of his writing suffers. For example "since the origin of both self and not-self is the act of self-positing nothing on either side of the barrier is anything in the last analysis but self." When he philosophizes more freely he puts the reader in a better mood: "This idea has recurred so often as to suggest that there is truth in it or a permanent need to believe so." In the final analysis Scruton accomplishes his aim of using philosophy as therapy for our modern confusions although mental health for him lies in more conservative thinking." - Publishers Weekly Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information Inc. -- with a bonus offer-- .

200032891Indiana: Saint Augustine's. New. 2000. Hardcover. 1890318590 . - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - SIGNED BY AUTHOR -- NEW -- Personal view by this conservative British philosopher. 254 pages. - REVIEWED BY - Mary Margaret McCabe. TLS the Times Literary Supplement. London: Jul 7 2000. Iss. 5075; pg. 10 - Booklist: "Scruton has been called the most amusing philosopher writing today. This mock Platonic dialogue which includes much narration and description bears that characterization out. The aged Plato has dispatched his former lover Archeanassa to her hometown Colophon now under Persian rule to retrieve the manuscripts of the poet Antimachus an earlier love of hers. She finds Colophon utterly changed a city of featureless office towers and a populace sharply divided into a gray mass of citizenworkers and an elite of imperial-military overlords. She also finds Perictione a young cousin of Plato's who lives in her own Greek aesthetic oasis and who engages her in discussions of architecture dance and music. Those subjects come up as Perictione relates the life of her mentor Merope an itinerant philosopher with whom she traveled before settling in Colophon. Cynicism egalitarianism and the decline of taste and civilization under both totalitarian and free-market conditions also figure in the women's exchanges. As in Plato's dialogues character and incident prove as engaging as philosophy in Scruton's tour de force." - by Ray Olson - Copyright © 2000 - American Library Association.

182139273Boston: Wells and Lilly 1821. Hardcover. Translation by C.R. Prinsep. 8vo. Quarter calf with marbled paper over boards. lxxv 332pp. Good plus. Text block tight and quite nice though original boards quite edgeworn and age toned; inner hinges with old paper spine mend thus tight; calf spine of later vintage with title in gilt. A tight and nice first volume only of the scarce first U.S. edition of this influential economic treatise -- but a fine and unique association copy: Front flyleaf and title page each bear the bold ownership signature of Lewis W. Green 1806-63 a notable Presbyterian minister and educator whose college presidencies include Hampden-Sydney College 9th president 1848-56 Transylvania University 8th president 1856-58 and Centre College 4th president 1858-63. Green entered Centre College Kentucky at the young age of 16 in 1822 -- the very year he signed the title page of this volume adding proudly "Centre College April 1822" beneath. Front flyleaf signature appears to have been added much later. Green appears to have had this copy specially bound instructing the binder to insert a blank leaf after every two text leaves so that he could fill them with his pencilled notes. Many leaves are blank but many others are filled with his neatly pencilled scholarly jottings discussing Say's text -- clearly Green spent much time reading and analyzing this copy. Although this is volume one only of this two-volume set it is an absolutely intriguing and obviously one-of-a-kind copy worthy of further research. Wells and Lilly hardcover
