Real Name: Timo Wirkman Virkkala
About My Library: You can see what I have. But it is what I lack that most concerns me. Books I am looking for: George Santayana in the early red-brown Scribner's editions: The Life of Reason: Reason in Science; Reason in Religion, etc.

A nice copy of Vaihinger's The Philosophy of As-If; works by Scottish Enlightenment writers (I have some, of course); the old, big edition, in 19th century hardcover, of William Hamilton's Metaphysics; old editions of Henry Sidgwick and Leslie Stephens; Herbert Spencer's Data of Sociology, etc., in the standard D. Appleton cover, red-brown with horizontal gold stripes; and nice paperbacks of Copleston's History of Philosophy, all editions after Leibniz (Vol. 5 on).

In economics, Gossen's treatise, Pareto's Manual, the recent translation of Dupuit, and anything by H. Dunning Macleod.

Great Books of the Western World, Britannica, in the cloth editions: 4. Homer; 8. Aristotle I; 28. Gilbert et al.; 34. Newton; 43. American State Papers, etc.; 44. Boswell; 45. Lavoisier; 47. Goethe; 48. Melville; 50. Marx Engels; 53. William James.
About Me: I have written for Reason, Liberty, and other publications, including the late, great Loompanics Unlimited Catalog.
