Item description from seller

Printed in the U.S.A. Date on the title page. First Printing. Footnotes with bibliographical references, Conclusion; viii, 220 pages. Shiny red simulated cloth with spine of slate blue cloth and bright silver lettering. The interior is creamy-bright, but not completely clean, as my philosopher-father left considerable penciling on about two dozen pages; as he was a philosophy professor for decades, perhaps this is an asset rather than a detraction. [See an example in one of my five images of the actual book.] The original dustjacket is unclipped ($6.00) with little wear. "Recent developments in the history of comparative religion and in depth psychology confirm the belief that Christianity has much in common with the natural religions. By the same token, however, these studies have also brought into sharp relief the originality of the Christian concept. § The author draws a perceptive analogy between the ancient Monophysite and Nestorian heresies and similar modern-day extremist positions." Discussed are Freud, Adler, Jung, pagan myth and Christian sacrament, concepts of space and time. "If Christianity is the work of God, it is also the work of a God who became man." 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.

Description de la boutique

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.
