‎First edition, presentation-copy for Quine, of Körner's influential work on Kant. With the following presentation-inscription from Körner: ""To W. V. Q. / With Kind wishes, / S. K."". A letter dated the ""27th May, 1955"", accompanies the book"" it reads as thus ""Dear Quine, / I Know that the enclosed is not/ really your cup of tea. But sending/ it to you gives me a good reason/ for sending you my good wishes. / Yours sincerely, / S. Körner"". The book was written for laymen which meant that Kant was introduced for a broader audience and was rediscovered and reintroduced to the English-speaking work after the Second World War. ‎
