Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. [Date from the copyright page.] Second Printing. Preface, Introduction; [x], 175 pages. The original gray cloth with bold black images front and back is in excellent shape; black lettering on the gently bumped spine is clear. Top-edge colored black. The interior is only lightly toned; NOTE however, it has been marked in pencil by my philosopher-father, a Wittgenstein scholar and author, which may help to guide someone through this fascinating work. The dust jacket shows just a little sunning, three rubbed spots, and is unclipped ($3.75). [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "The first proposition of this work . . . is that behavior depends on the image."(page 6.) "[The author] considers the study of The Image important enough to become itself a new science, which he---somewhat nervously---dubs 'eiconics.' Moliere's Monsieur Jourdain one day discovered to his immense satisfaction that he had been speaking prose all his life. The readers of this brilliant book may discover with equal delight that they have been practicing eiconical research all the time." (from the flap.) As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 4 leaves, 175 pp. Original cloth. Small ink name stamp of former owner on front flyleaf, else Near Fine, without dust jacket. 'The basic theme of The Image is that behavior, especially of humans, is not a product of a particular stimulus, but of the whole image of the world in the mind of the behaving person. Our images are accessible to us and we can communicate them to others. This idea is followed through the theory of organization, biology, sociology and the sociology of knowledge, economics, politics, history, and the study of subcultures. It is suggested that the concept of the image might become the basis of a new science named 'eiconics.' The work ends with some philosophical reflections on the relation between image and truth' ('This Week's Citation Classic', Current Contents, No. 48, Nov. 28, 1988). Here is Boulding from the same source: 'The Image was produced under unusual circumstances and has had some curious and unexpected impacts. My year at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford (1954-1955) was a year of extraordinary stimulation. It was the center's first year of operation. There was a very remarkable group of people there, including the late Fred L. Polak, who had a great influence on me and my wife, Elise, who learned Dutch and translated his Image of the Future. During that year I learned how to use a Dictaphone. In about the last nine days that we were at the center (it was around the end of August and almost everybody else had gone home), I dictated virtually the entire text of The Image, a very intense experience, reflected in the book's format. There are virtually no footnotes and no bibliography. I simply transformed my own image -- part of the content of my own mind -- into the English language. The secretarial staff at the center transcribed the manuscript, it was published with only a modicum of editing, and it is still in print after a third of a century. . . . The Image, as far as I know, has had very little impact on psychologists, even cognitive psychologists, who still shy away from the study of consciousness. One exception is the book by G. A. Miller, E. Galanter, and K.H. Pribram [Plans and the structure of behavior, 1960], which was apparently stimulated by their picking up The Image in the library at the center. The word 'eiconics' never got off the ground. The book, however, has had a variety of impacts in other areas. In 1971 I received a letter from a cognitive anthropologist, requesting permission to reprint the introduction from The Image in a book on this subject. The Image evidently had an impact there. A year later I was invited to write a foreword (which I did) to a book on cognitive geography, which is the study of the maps in people's minds. Even more interesting was the discovery that a group called the Institute of Cultural Affairs (centered in Chicago, begun over 30 years ago, and now operating in over 100 locations in over 30 countries) has made use of The Image in their endeavor to give people living in poverty better images of themselves that could lead them out of their present situation. Groups with somewhat similar concerns, like the YMCA and Training, Inc., have also used The Image in rather similar situations. It is clear that there are niches for The Image in our society, even if it has not had much impact on the social sciences. Perhaps this is because of the obsession of the social sciences with the Newtonian model. It is odd that it is the physical sciences that have most transcended this model of deterministic mechanics and now are very well aware that knowledge is impossible without a knower and that physics cannot be wholly dissociated from the consciousness of the physicist. It may be, therefore, that The Image was before its time in relating behavior to the context of the conscious mind.'.
