Pain, Sex and Time explores evolution and postulates the possibility and means of a future evolution of the mind. First published in 1939, its philosophy converted a generation of leading thinkers from the scientific worldview to the perspective of the mystics. Admirers included Aldous Huxley, H G Wells, and Huston Smith. It was also James Dean's favourite book.

Condition

A good copy. The black cloth is in good order, and the binding is secure. The pages are a little foxed throughout, heaviest at the first few and last few pages. Previous owner's pencil inscription to ffep, with very occasional pencil mark to margin and inoffensive underlining, also in pencil. The book remains in solid, readable condition.
