Some recently bought second-hand books, including Gillian Rose’s The Broken Middle, James Barry, Measures of Science, and Samuel Moyn, Origins of the Other: Emmanuel Levinas between Revelation and Ethics. Top of the pile is a first edition of Alexandre Koyré’s La Révolution astronomique, dedicated and initialled by Koyré himself – a lovely find.

They relate to the Mapping Indo-European Thought research is some way, though Barry and Koyré more to the side-project on Koyré – the first part of which was recently published as “Alexandre Koyré and the Collège de France” in History of European Ideas, online first and open access.
