Sobre este artículo
Cambridge: At the University Press,, 1919. First edition, first impression, of the author's effort to reconcile the special theory of relativity with the broader character of human perception as he understood it. Though unmarked as such, this copy comes from the collection of Thomas Graeme Nelson Haldane (1897-1981), a Scottish engineer who received the James Hawkesley Gold Medal for developing the geo-thermal energy infrastructure of New Zealand. While Haldane was pursuing his undergraduate studies at Trinity College, Cambridge, Whitehead was invited to deliver the 1919 Tarner lectures. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine lettered and with publisher's device in gilt, covers panelled in blind. Bookseller's ticket of Deighton, Bell & Co. Ltd of Cambridge to front pastedown. Light rubbing and bumping, endpapers and outer leaves faintly browned, slight separation between several gatherings: a very good copy. Victor Lowe & Robert C. Baldwin, "Bibliography of the Writings of Alfred North Whitehead", in Paul Arthur Schilpp, ed., The Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, 1951, pp. 759-760.
