What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Is the history of philosophy the history of masculine texts and male problems? Is the position of women in philosophy a question of exclusion by men rather than, as some suggest, of a hypothetically immanent femininity"? Is "The Second Sex" a work of philosophy and what can it teach us about the relation of philosophy to experience? How to be a woman philosopher, and a conceptually adventurous woman is a question which dissolves distinctions between biography, history, politics and philosophy. Michele le Doeuff takes on the history of philosophy to question its gender and to question the social and legislative conclusions to which its formulations have led us. In four parts, "Hipparchia's Choice" is a work of rare irreverance and unimpeachable seriousness. It points the way to a philosophy accountable to history, to feminism, to society and to intelligibility.
