by Mill, John Stuart
London: Longman, Green, Reader, and Dyer, 1872. Fourth Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. xvi, 650 pp. While the book is premised as a refutation, it is very much an affirmative expression of Mill's rationalist view of morality, religion and the whole reach of philosophy. Arguably Mill's most ambitious work of abstract philosophy, with also elements of what was soon to be thought of as psychology. Modern quarter calf, with five raised bands, over marbled boards. Minor scuffing to calf spine. Generally pages are clean. Binding tight. Modern endpaper. Gilt foreedges. A beautiful copy. (Inventory #: 000878)
