Product Details

Vintage paperback edition of Ernst Cassirer's seminal work, The Philosophy of the Enlightenment. Published by Beacon Press in 1955, this first Beacon paperback edition features the translation by Fritz C. A. Koelln and James P. Pettegrove. The book explores the intellectual history and philosophical foundations of the 18th century. This copy shows significant signs of age and wear, including chipping and small tears along the cover edges, spine wear, and a previous owner's signature on the interior flyleaf. The pages have naturally tanned over time but remain clear and readable. A classic scholarly text for collectors of philosophy and history.
