About This Item
London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1990. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear jacket, edges lightly foxed. 212 pp. The eminent philosopher's last book. A collection of his best essays. The last two essays describe his near-death experience (NDE), of considerable interest as Ayer is a noted atheist, thus described here without religious overlay.
