Association Copy at the Highest Degree: Editor to Dedicatee
This is a unique, good quality copy of the seminal 1995 Oxford University Press anthology Agents, Causes, and Events. This volume is more than a book; it is a historical record of one of the most important mentorships in late-20th-century metaphysics.
This copy features a full-page handwritten inscription from the editor, Timothy O\'Connor, to Carl Ginet, the very man to whom the book is dedicated. O\'Connor writes:
\"For Carl, with much gratitude for your intensive, personal mentoring of me as a budding philosopher and for your ongoing support and friendship. Tim.\"
Carl Ginet’s influence is felt throughout this volume. Ginet is not merely the dedicatee - he is a contributing author, is thanked in the acknowledgments, and is the intellectual godfather of the volume\'s central arguments.
This is a \"Dedication Copy\", the most sought-after state of any association copy.
Condition:
This is a Trade Paperback First Edition. A solid, very good copy with exceptional provenance. The covers show moderate shelf wear and some minor peeling/delamination at the corners. There is a slight cover flare at the corners. The spine is uncreased but shows wear at the head and foot. The interior has some minor penciled-in marginalia and underlining. There is minor bumping at the edge corners, and very minimal clipping of one of the pages (see last photo).
