Frondizi, from a prominent Argentinian family (his brother was President from 1958-1962), was educated at Harvard, the University of Michigan, and in Mexico; and taught in Buenos Aires until the military purge of academics in 1966 led to his exile, after which he taught at several American universities. The second edition, based on the fourth Spanish, retranslated & revised by the author, with a new interpretation of value as a Gestalt quality. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured.
