Hardback. Num Pages: 244 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1DVP; 3JH; HPCF; HPK; JHBA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 159 x 272 x 2. Weight in Grams: 466.
The book introduces Tadeusz Kotarbinski's philosophy of action into the mainstream of contemporary action-theoretical debates.
