Hardcover. Condition: VG. No Jacket. 1st English ed. (1st German-1941). A translation of the 1961 3rd German edition, issued in the series 'Northwestern University Studies in Phenomenology and Existentialist Philosophy'. xiii+172; prev.owner's small gilt label top front pastedown otherwise internally clean, tight & unmarked; green cloth covers clean and minimally worn but spine slightly sunfaded. In her foreword Grene suggests 'philosophical anthropology' as the best genre-name for this work. Subsequent interest among radical and critical psychologists in the role of the body perhaps renders it less anomalous now. Apparently extremely scarce, hardly known in UK. Seller Inventory # 007957
