About this Item

Original offprint. Veblen presents the history of scientific knowledge as characterized by discontinuous periods, rather than a progressive evolution. Scientific understanding is shaped by the trends and forces of each time. The offprint comes from the library of George Plimpton Adams (1882-1961), professor in philosophy at the University of California and author of works on idealism and contemporary American philosophy, with his ownership signature to the front wrapper and his pencilled annotations to contents. Octavo. Original plain wrappers printed in black, rear wrapper absent. Front wrapper and last leaf detached, a little soiled, small hole to front wrapper and initial couple of leaves, couple of closed tears to front wrapper. A good copy.
