1959rif. 164968No place: The Association for Symbolic Logic Inc. March 1959. A seminal work of modern philosophy First edition first printing of the author's first major work published when he was only 18 years old which provided the foundations for Kripke's innovations in modal logic and semantics. Saul Kripke 1940-2022 was "one of the most penetrating minds of our time. His achievements span the disciplines of philosophy logic and mathematics. From his post at Princeton University where he was James McCosh Professor of Philosophy and his previous post at Rockefeller University Kripke established a towering reputation as one of the two or three most eminent philosophers in the English-speaking world.Kripke's contributions to philosophy have extended the boundaries of the most unfamiliar and technical regions of modern analytic philosophy - where philosophical reasoning intermingles with abstract mathematic theory. He worked in the field of modal logic a branch of formal logic that has introduced ways to distinguish kinds of true statements. Before Kripke modal logicians - including the inventor of modal logic C. I. Lewis - did not have the mathematical tools to analyze many of the most important kinds of English sentences. One of Kripke's major achievements was the invention of 'possible world semantics' a form of modal logic that has shown to the satisfaction of most philosophers that the common-sense understanding of the concepts 'possibility' and 'necessity' in true statements can be mathematically proved" Branch p. 180. Octavo pp. 1-14 in the journal. Original buff wrappers printed in black. A couple of tears to spine chip at foot neatly reglued contents clean: a near-fine copy.

rif. 1947081978. Two original production cels together with an original background showing Frodo Sam and Gollum at their first meeting in the crags of Emyn Muil. The character cel appears at 1:35:16 in the film although the background comprising a watercolour on paper and detail on acetate appears a few minutes earlier in the sequence at 1:32:16. Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated film used a hybrid of traditional cel animation and rotoscoped live action footage. It adapted Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring and the first half of The Two Towers. Despite criticism about the truncated narrative the film was a financial success and Peter Jackson freely admitted its influence on his own films. After graduating from the High School of Industrial Arts in Manhattan Bakshi began as an inker painting the reverse side of animation cels for Terry Toons where he progressed quickly and eventually ran the Mighty Heroes series. In 1977 Bakshi made Wizards in which he started experimenting with rotoscoping techniques. However Lord of the Rings was a major step forward and for this picture Bakshi first produced a full live action feature first which would be used as a reference for the animators. In an recently released interview with animation historian Jim Korkis conducted in 1978 and intended for publication in The Comics Journal Magazine Bakshi says "I had the actors play it straight. The rotoscope in the past has been used in scenes and then exaggerated. The action becomes cartoony. I wanted to bring another level to animation. I wanted to try to get away from the Wizards cartoon work. It's a rotoscope realism unlike anything that's been seen. LOTR was done with honesty. You can't buy the love that went into the project. It's the finest thing I've done." The background was likely by John Vita 1917-1988. Original character cel annotated "4 - N - 24" and "37" at foot background cel annotated "Key 339 4N BG2" at foot and watercolour background on paper 267 x 318 mm. Mounted framed and glazed framed size: 386 x 445 mm. Some minor creases not affecting image: near-fine.
