These Kindle Editions were discovered first, and one thing led to another: a 14-book series - BUT coding an entry for the first book as above revealed that the Kindle ebooks are excerpts from the larger first book; the page counts do not add up, but that is Amazon's usual low-integrity practices; these links are provided so that you can purchase the Kindle ebook about your favorite philosopher =OR= purchase the full book or ebook costing not very much more.
