The Logic of Decision -- C. G. Hempel's copy
New York: McGraw-Hill, C. 1965. First printing. Hardcover. Cloth in dust jacket, very good, jacket moderately shelfworn, with Carl Hempel's pencil signature and date, and his note in pencil on jacket flap that a review of the book appeared in the Aug '68 issue of BJPS. The preface pages (2 pp. total) are underlined in red pen, probably by Hempel. The book is dedicated to Carnap, but as Jeffrey himself says in the preface, "Chapter 11 derives from my Doctoral Dissertation (Princeton University, 1957) which was written under the supervision of C. G. Hempel and Hilary Putnam, both of whom have continued to influence me over the years, and both of whom have my warm thanks." (Chapter 11 consequently has some underlining too). Jeffrey is an important philosopher in the Carnapian tradition. Fine association copy. Very Good / very good. Item #H12996
