Uncorrected Proof Of the First American Edition, Contursi A042d. Fine In Gray Matte Wraps. From the personal library of Eco bibliographer James Contursi;

This collection of essays is an erudite, detailed inquiry into the philosophy of mind and language. Professor Eco tackles Kant's question: How does the mind transform the manifold of sense perceptions into knowledge? As Eco puts it: What would Kant have done had he come upon a platypus? Translated from the original Italian languange by Alastair McEwen
