First edition, second impression, of Dunne’s influential and intellectually provocative exploration of time, consciousness, and higher-dimensional reality. Expanding upon the ideas introduced in An Experiment with Time, Dunne advances his theory of “serial time,” proposing a multilayered structure of temporal experience that sought to reconcile scientific thought with subjective phenomena such as dreams and precognition. The work attracted wide attention among scientists, philosophers, and literary figures, and remains a cornerstone in early 20th-century speculative thought on time and perception.
A desirable early impression of this enduring and widely discussed work at the intersection of science, philosophy, and metaphysics, increasingly sought after in collectible condition with original dust jacket.
