Kreyche, Robert J.

Verlag: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, Inc, New York, 1964

Beschreibung

A near fine, unmarked copy of Kreyche's introductory text on metaphysics, "written in a manner that enables the reader to know philosophy rather than know about it, this new text integrates the doctrine of analogy with the whole of metaphysics. Among the unique features of First Philosophy is a special chapter on the knowledge of being, in which emphasis is placed on the meaning and importance of the kind of "abstraction: that is peculiar to metaphysics alone, the all-persuasive character of the metaphysical 'judgement of separation,' and the intrinsically analogical character of first principles" (from the publisher). Pp 328 [i-vi], vii-xviii, [xix-xx], 1-328, [329-332]. Faint shelf wear to spine ends. Wrapped in a good+ jacket that is chipped at the head of the spine and lightly so around around edges. Small open tear on the back affecting a few lines of the author's bio. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 454
