cm. 17 x 24, xiv-142 pp. Accademia toscana di scienze e lettere ?La Colombaria? - Serie Studi I concetti di virt? e di felicit?, nonch? i modi con cui Kant tent? di armonizzarli, nell?idea di sommo bene, sono analizzati considerando l?intero corpus kantiano, ossia le opere pubblicate, ma anche le lezioni e le riflessioni. La ricostruzione dei mutamenti nell?etica di Kant - in particolare quanto alla realt? del sommo bene e all?esistenza di Dio - e l?excursus sulla nascita del concetto di eudemonismo forniscono un contributo originale alla Kantforschung. The concepts of virtue and happiness, and the ways Kant tried to combine them in the idea of the highest good, are examined with regard not only to Kant?s published works, but also to his lectures and reflections. The story of the changes in Kant?s ethic ? particularly about the reality of the highest good and God?s existence ? and the excursus on the birth of the concept of eudemonism give an original contribution to Kantforschung. 312 gr. xiv-142 p.

Original priced dust jacket, lightly rubbed at extremities. Insert card with compliments of the publisher. Ben Thompson (1843-1884) was a gunman, gambler, and sometime lawman of the Old West. He was a contemporary of Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill Cody, Doc Holliday, John Wesley Hardin and James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickock. Thompson had a colorful career, fighting with the Confederates during the Civil War, and in Mexico under the Emperor, before being imprisoned at the age of 25 for severely injuring his brother-in-law, who had physically abused Thompson's wife. After his release, Thompson made his name as a gunman and a gambler in Texas and Kansas. After he was hired in 1881 as Marshal in Austin, Texas, the crime rate dropped sharply during his term. He was murdered at the age of 40 in San Antonio on March 11, 1884 during the Vaudeville Theater Ambush. Adams. Six Guns #2154. Hardbound. Very good. Scarce original edition. W8RtFront
