Putting forth a remarkable array of different views on chess from philosophers with varied chess-proficiency, "Philosophy Looks at Chess" is an engaging read for chess adherents and the philosophically inclined alike.

Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
This book is very esoteric. A lot of references to psychological studies that the reader has no info on. It is written like a research paper trying to get funding from intellectuals by impressing them.
I like philosophy and chess but it was more about psychology.
