1845FB3043 /1A<p>Brown cloth binding with gilt title and date on the spine.</p><p>This book focuses on the art to 'The Anatomy of Melancholy' The Anatomy of Melancholy is a book by Robert Burton first published in 1621. On its surface the book is presented as a medical textbook in which Burton applies his vast and varied learning in the scholastic manner to the subject of melancholia which includes although it is not limited to what is now termed clinical depression. Although presented as a medical text it is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text and Burton addresses far more than his stated subject. In fact the Anatomy uses melancholy as the lens through which all human emotion and thought may be scrutinized and virtually the entire contents of a 17th-century library are marshalled into service of this goal. It is encyclopedic in its range and reference. In his satirical preface to the reader Burton's persona and pseudonym "Democritus Junior" explains "I write of melancholy by being busy to avoid melancholy." This is characteristic of the author's style which often supersedes the book's strengths as a medical text or historical document as its main source of appeal to admirers. Both satirical and serious in tone the Anatomy is "vitalized by Burton's pervading humour" and his digressive and inclusive style often verging on a stream of consciousness consistently informs and animates the text.</p> Thomas Tegg. hardcover

In-8°, pp. 6 (da p. 205 a p. 210). bross. edit. col titolo scritto di pugno del prof. Giuseppe Corradi. FAGGI, compagno di studi Rodolfo Mondolfo, neocriticista, docente a Torino dal 1915 al 1938; rigore del metodo di ricerca, confronto aperto con le idee scientifiche, specie con l'antropologia e la psicologia.
br. Quale è il ruolo della filosofia in una società pervasa dalla tecnologia? Che cosa fa oggi un filosofo in un mondo dominato dalle conoscenze scientifiche? Immaginiamo che Democrito torni fra noi e, ormai anziano e malato, racconti il suo pensiero alla figlia. Gli episodi della sua vita quotidiana di uomo del XXI secolo sarebbero allora occasioni di riflessione, in cui le scienze e la filosofia dialogano fecondandosi reciprocamente. Galileo, Darwin e Einstein hanno mostrato che viviamo alla periferia dell'universo ma, a differenza degli altri esseri viventi a noi noti, abbiamo la capacità di meditare sulla nostra posizione nel cosmo. Il neo-Democrito ci guiderà in questi pensieri.

189845626London: The University Press Ltd 1898. First Edition. Octavo; burgundy cloth boards; 107pp. Cloth a shade sunned at spine else a tight straight Very Good copy. The two titles bound together as issued; second title has its own half-title but pagination is continuous. Includes Appendix "The English Press and the Prosecution." Two works the first a satirical play the second a scholarly essay attacking British censorship laws and the suppression of public speech. The University Press sometimes calling itself the "Watford University Press" was a project of Rowland de Villiers a freethought and free-speech activist and publisher of controversial literature who has been described by one historian as "a somewhat shady character at best" see Odin Dekkers J.M. Robertson. Lon:1998. Villiers was most famously the British publisher of Havelock Ellis's treatise on sexual inversion; he was arrested on obscenity charges in 1901 and died in police custody. "G. Astor Singer" appears to have been a Villiers pseudonym and we would not be entirely surprised if "Frederick Raymond Coulson" was an alias as well. The University Press, Ltd unknown books
