THE PRINCIPLE OF INDIVIDUALITY AND VALUE: The Gifford Lectures for 1911 Delivered in Edinburgh University

London: Macmillan and Co., Limited, 1912. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Bosanquet (1848-1923) was a British philosopher and an influential figure on matters of political and social policy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The publication of these lectures incited a good deal of critical reaction to Bosanquet's views, particularly in metaphysics (e.g., on the idealism/materialism controversy and on the nature of finite individuality), logic (e.g., concerning the status of propositions and the nature of inference), and ethics. Octavo: xxxvii, [1], 409, [1], [2] p. Original burgundy cloth binding, with gilt titles. Period previous owner's ink signature to the title page. The spine is lightly faded, with a minor stain to the spine heel; otherwise very good. (Inventory #: 77565)
