Hi, there's some books available for free, which someone has offered me to take. Any of these look interesting? I've already taken about 200 books from this particular estate, who keeps offering me to come back and take more. I've already picked up a vintage hardcover of William James Essays and Reviews, Schopenhauer selections, Strawson's Individuals, What Plato Said by Shorey, Leibniz selections, Charles Pierce selections, the complete works of Berkeley, etc.
Books I can pick up next time I'm in the conference room in the fall.

There's also a bunch of Aquinas, some Locke, some Christian philosopher whose name was Reinhold or something. There's also a ton of introduction to ethics, philosophy, philosophical problems. I took all the books on philosophy of mind (still a couple little ones left), all the ones on philosophy of science.
There's a ton of logic books, and I just took on on the art of reasoning by Bonevac, and a little beautifully bound hardcover on symbolic logic, as well as the instructors manual. I also picked up like 6 jurisprudence, introduction to law, international law, etc. books, big hardcovers.

Whoever bought all these had truly abominable taste in philosophy.
I'd recommend just getting the (more) neutral overview stuff like the oxford histories.
There's about 200 really interesting books I picked up, worth many thousands of dollars. But yes, what is left is really horrible, for the most part. I need that Derrida, Origin of Creation, The Life of Lenin, Berkeley book, Derrida book, and maybe that big 20th century philosophy collection. If the Mill has his late works in it, I'd be down to take that too. I'd be down for the mathematics and beauty book. Perceiving Sensing and Knowing, maybe.
But yeah I took all the radical stuff, all the stuff on technology, all the science, mind, art, big name philosophers, etc. books which would have given this collection life.
Fair enough, you struck a pretty good goldmine then. Post some pics anon, I'd like to see what you grabbed.
John Keats
Ivan Illich
Montesquieu
Berkeley, three dialogues
Canguilhem
Derrida
Maybe a Descartes
Maybe the Cavell
