Philosophic Inquiry: An Introduction to Philosophy

The book is in fair condition, with noticeable wear on the spine and corners. The absence of a dust jacket exposes the red cloth cover, which shows signs of handling and age-related fading. The binding remains intact, although the edges exhibit some fraying. Internally, the pages are clean with minimal foxing, making it a suitable copy for reading or academic use.
