Metaphysics As A Guide To Morals

A fine (verging on 'as new') copy of the first edition, first printing of Murdoch's study of the relationship between and among morals, literature, politics, art, science and religion. A main theme of the book concerns religion, its relation to morals, to moral philosophy, and to the great metaphysical systems which have supported it in the past. Both book and dust jacket have been well looked after and despite their age (over thirty five years) look and feel new, with no marks of previous ownership and very little sign of wear. The mid-green cloth-bound boards are evenly coloured with no bumps, dents or scratches - all edges are straight and all corners sharp. The text block is square and tightly bound with no lean. There is some light spotting on the top edge (of the text block) but none on the fore and bottom edges (see relevant photos). Internally all pages are bright, clean and spotless with no marks or inscriptions. The dust jacket retains its original gloss and stiffness the colours of the artwork on the front panel remain strong and vivid. There are no marks, dents, tears, or unwanted folds or creases, and no excisions: the publisher's price (£20.00) is still in place). We have included sixteen photos of the book and would be happy to produce more if additional views would be helpful.…
