What do you guys usually pay for books? I find $40 about average for a
European published book in the states. What is interesting to me is how
few non-US publishing houses are available for readers in the states,
which no doubt influences what we have available as readers. Most of
the stuff on AT especially coming out of ISCRAT is around $40. At least
its available now, it wasn't a couple a years ago except for small
publishing houses.

There is no hope of finding the sources of free action in the lofty realms of the mind or in the depths of the brain. The idealist approach of the phenomenologists is as hopeless as the positive approach of the naturalists. To discover the sources of free action it is necessary to go outside the limits of the organism, not into the intimate sphere of the mind, but into the objective forms of social life; it is necessary to seek the sources of human consciousness and freedom in the social history of humanity. To find the soul it is necessary to lose it.
