Item description from seller

navy c w/wear at extremities; a rim of discoloration along the for edge; owner's bookplate removed; owner's name; lite foxing; 102 clean, unmarked pages/index/translators introduction [.Kant proposes that the solar system and the universe evolved naturally from a primordial, gaseous "nebula" of dispersed matter, governed by Newtonian laws of gravity, repulsion, and mechanics. This early "nebular hypothesis" argued that stars and planets formed through gravitational accretion, marking a move away from supernatural creation stories and anticipating modern scientific cosmology. ].
