PROVENANCE: 

The front free endpaper bears the handwritten signature of 'W. P. Alston.' William P. Alston (1921-2009) was a hugely influential American philosopher, acclaimed for his groundbreaking work in epistemology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of religion. Acquired from Syracuse University, this volume offers a tangible connection to the intellectual lineage of modern philosophy.
