Published by Bedminster Press, Inc. 1965
Hardcover in good condition with light wear, foxing, and clipped dust jacket as pictured.
Næss was a Norwegian philosopher, known foremost as the founder of the concept Deep Ecology. He combined his ecological vision with Gandhian nonviolence and on several occasions participated in direct action events. He was the youngest person to ever be promoted to professor at Oslo University (27), a position he inhabited from 1939 to 1970.
Næss' main philosophical work from the 1950s was entitled Interpretation and Preciseness. He later developed the conclusions in that book into this simplified, practical textbook, entitled Communication and Argument, which became a valued introduction to pragmatics or rather "language logic", and was thus used over many decades as a sine qua non for the preparatory examination at the University of Oslo, later known as "Examen Philosophicum".
