Half-title + TP + [1]-162 + 1 leaf = "Table des Matieres", small Octavo. First Edition. (Douglas 305; Contat 36/8a)Sartre's first book published as volume 10 of the "Nouvelle Encyclopedie Philosophique" which was commissioned by the editor, Henri Delacroix. In it, Sartre summarizes numerous outdated theories about imagination and proposes a phenomenological perspective. Sartre was at this time much impressed with the work of Husserl whom he claimed had made a major contribution towards the psychology of the imagination. This is only the first part of a much larger work. The publisher rejected the second half which was not published until 1940 in a revised form under the title L'Imaginaire. Original wraps with black and green front cover. Some wear to spine and the front cover is detached. Three lines of k notes to the bottom of pages 2 & 3. Other that the problem with the front cover, this is a very nice copy of this extremely fragile work. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Seller Inventory # 639
