Pages are intact and tight to the spine. From the back cover: "Anne Conway was an extraordinary figure in a remarkable age. Her mastery of the intricate doctrines of the Lurianic Kabbalah her authorship of a treatise criticising the philosophy of Descartes Hobbes and Spinoza and her scandalous conversion to the despised sect of Quakers indicate a strength of character and independence of mind wholly unexpected and unwanted in a woman at the time. Translated for the first time into modern English her 'Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy' is the most interesting and original philosophical work written by a woman in the seventeenth century. Her radical and unorthodox ideas are important not only because they anticipated the more tolerant ecumenical and optimistic philosophy of the Enlightenment but also because of their influence on Leibniz. This fully annotated edition includes an introduction which places Conway in her historical and philosophical contexts together with a chronology of her life and a bibliography." -- with a bonus offer--; .
