First Edition (SD). This book was previously owned by J. T. Fraser. His bookplate is neatly affixed to the front inside cover. I purchased this book, and another dozen or so of his books having in one way or another to do with Time, in Westport, Connecticut where he lived. I've written in the other listings that he was never without his red pen, but I'll have to amend that here. He did not underline or write anything in this book, unless something snuck by me. There is no writing of any kind, no names, etc. to be found anywhere in this book. From the first paragraph of Dr. Fraser's Wikipedia profile: 'J. T. Fraser (1923-2010) made important scholarly contributions to the interdisciplinary Study of Time and was a founding member of the International Society for the Study of Time. His work has strongly influenced thinking about the nature of time across the disciplines from physics to sociology, biology to comparative religion, and he was a seminal figure in the general interdisciplinary study of temporality.' If you're curious about the other books of his that I've listed place his name in a 'Keyword' window of my store. As you can see from the photos, the blue covers are pretty clean. The spine is very clearly faded from blue to gray. Still the silver lettering there is quite bright. There isn't much wear on the covers, a little color fade as well at the margins, a bit of crinkling at the spine ends. The corners and edges are in very good shape. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. There's a little bit of very light amber spotting/foxing on a few early pages, nothing particularly conspicuous. There's a little more of that at the margins of the next to last rear end paper and proceeding couple of index pages. Otherwise, the pages are very clean. I didn't see any soiling on any of them. I'm not seeing any creasing. No markings. And the aforementioned bookplate is the only attachment. There are eight sections with numerous chapters within. The titles of the sections are: Peirce and the Prevalence of Time; James on the Plurality of Times; Royce, Eternity, and Time; Santayana and the Temporal Compulsion; Dewey and the Temporalizing of Time; Whitehead and Temporal Extension; Whitehead and the Epochs of Time. There are 46 pages of Notes following the last page of the Epilogue. The book states and analyzes the views of six major American philosophers: Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, Josiah Royce, George Santayana, John Dewey, and Alfred North Whitehead. There's also a brief survey of the views of George Herbert Mead in the final chapter.…

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
