A Significant Association Copy: From the Library of Carl Ginet
This 1950 second printing of Clarence Irving Lewis’s An Analysis of Knowledge and Valuation is more than just a seminal text in American philosophy; it is a piece of academic history. This volume bears the ownership mark of Carl A. Ginet, the distinguished Cornell University Professor Emeritus and a titan of 20th-century epistemology and action theory. This was acquired from Ithaca, NY, home of Cornell University.
In this work, Lewis provides the systematic foundation for how we know the world and how we assign value to it. It is rare to find a copy of this specific text that was owned and used by a philosopher whose own career was so deeply intertwined with these very questions. This is an essential acquisition for collectors of analytic philosophy or scholars of the \"Cornell School.\"

Interior: Minor underlining or marginalia observed in the text block.
