Revue des Travaux de l'Académie des Sciences Morales & Politiques et Comptes Rendus de ses Séances. 105e année, 4e série, Année 1952 (2e semestre)
Offprint from this prestigious publication directed by François Albert-Buisson, President and Perpetual Secretary of the "Académie des Sciences Morales & Politiques", and Claude Pellegrin, editor-in-chief and attaché to the Academy. The text featured here, Le problème de l'éthique dans l'évolution de la pensée humaine (The Problem of Ethics in the Evolution of Human Thought), is the work of a newly elected member of the Academy, who had been a member for only a few months when this offprint was published, having taken the seat previously held by Marshal Pétain; namely, Dr. Albert Schweitzer.
Our copy is enriched with an inscription by the latter in brown ink, written two years later, while he was in France for an extended period during which he frequently attended the Academy's sessions: "to Andrée Eekman [née Herrenschmidt, niece of his great friend Tata (Adèle Herrenschmidt) and wife of the painter-engraver Nicolas Eekman] my dear goddaughter Albert Schweitzer / 19 oct 1954."
Discrete marginal dampstaining to the wrappers. A fine copy, very slightly sunned.
