1840170880Frankfurt am Main: Joh. Christ. Hermannsche Buchhandlung 1841 i.e. 1840; 1854. I am read and I will be read First edition of the German philosopher's best and most focussed work on ethics outlining stinging attacks on both Kant and Hegel. In 1839 Schopenhauer wrote an essay titled On the Freedom of Human Will which won him the gold medal from the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences. Buoyed he wrote a complementary essay one year later On the Foundations of Morality which did not fare as well. Although this was the only submission to a competition run by the Royal Danish Society it was rejected on the grounds that it was opinionated and brutally disrespectful to prominent philosophers - Hegel in particular. Schopenhauer responded by publishing the two papers as Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics original German - Die Beiden Grundprobleme der Ethik with a lengthy preface outlining some choice thoughts on both Hegel and the Royal Danish Society. Although the Two Fundamental Problems carries an 1841 date it was published late in 1840. This volume also includes the second edition of On the Will in Nature original German - Ueber den Willen in der Natur originally published in 1836 which aims to bring recent developments in 19th-century science in line with Schopenhauer's nascent theory of the will. By 1854 his intellectual isolation had begun to abate and as he confidently wrote in the preface to the second edition "legor et legar" "I am read and I will be read" - p. vi. Octavo 203 x 126 mm pp. xl 278 2; pp. xxiv 135 1. Near-contemporary brown quarter cloth spine ruled and lettered in gilt marbled paper sides and edges. Near-contemporary library ticket of Ad.

1851916Berlin: A. W. Hayn 1851. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. The Book That Finally Made Schopenhauer Popular! <br /> <br />SCHOPENHAUER Arthur Parerga und Paralipomena: kleine philosophische Schriften Appendices and Omissions: a small philosophical writing. Berlin: A. W. Hayn 1851. Volume 1: TP i = Inhalt iii-iv = Vorwort half-title 3-465 466 = Druchfehler; Volume 2: TP III-IV = Inhalt half-title 3-531; Octavo. First Edition. <br /> <br />This work published in an edition of only 750 copies is a significant supplement to The World as Will and Idea. <br /> <br />Parerga und Paralipomena Greek for "Appendices" and "Omissions" is a collection of later philosophical reflections by Schopenhauer. The selection was compiled not as a summation of or introduction to his philosophy but rather as supplementary readings for those who had already embraced it although the author did maintain that it would still be comprehensible and of interest to the uninitiated. <br /> <br />The collection is divided into two volumes covering first the parerga Appendicies and thereafter the paralipomena omissions to that philosophy. The parerga are six extended essays intended as supplementary to the author's thought. The paralipomena short ruminations divided by topic into thirty-one subheadings cover material hitherto unaddressed by the philosopher but deemed by him to be complementary to the parerga. <br /> <br />As a result of this book especially the Aphorisms of Wisdom Schopenhauer finally gained popularity in Germany as a philosopher. <br /> <br />The contents include: Fragments on the History of Philosophy On Academic Philosophy On Visions and Related Matters On Logic and Dialectic On the Philosophy of Science and Nature On Suicide On Women and others. <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very good or better in original publishers cloth Light scuffing and edgewear. Former owners name neatly inscribed to upper corner of front free endpapers. Light foxing. Overall a very desirable copy. <br /> <br /> <br/><br/> A. W. Hayn hardcover

Norske Videnskabers=Selskab paa hans Majestæt Kongens Fødselsdag den 26de Januae 1838 af Frederik Moltke Bugge Selskabets Præses." <br/><br/><em>The scarce first printing of Schopenhauer's "Prize Essay" "On the Freedom of Human Will" which constitutes one of Schopenhauer's greatest successes one of the works of which he was the most proud and the work that was awarded the large gold medal from the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences being an answer to the proposed question from the Society "Is it possible to demonstrate human free will from self-consciousness". The following year Schopenhauer wrote his "On the Foundations of Morality" "Über die Grundlage der Moral" which he sent to the Royal Danish Society of Sciences but which was not honoured with an award although it was the only submission to the competition. It is these two works that together constitute his "Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics" "Die Beiden Grundprobleme der Ethik" which was published in 1941. The title-page and the preface are in Norwegian but the essay itself is in German "partly because a translation would undoubtedly be superfluous even unwelcome by anyone who possesses enough scientific education to lead the treatise with interest and knowledge partly because the copies that would be given to the author would probably lack all interest to him if they were printed in the Norwegian language and finally partly because the esoteric nature of the contents seem to make it preferable that the treatise as far as possible would not be made accessible to others than those who due to fairly thorough education are able to avoid misunderstandings as well as being able to properly appraise the value of the treatise with regards to its reality in general and partially own translation - Introduction pp. 2 - 3.Schopenhauer's work is generally accepted as being one of the most brilliant and elegant treatments of free will and determinism. He clearly and elegantly distinguishes between the freedom of acting and the freedom of willing. His conclusion is that human beings do have the freedom of acting whereas they do not have the freedom of willing since they are completely determined by the way that their bodies react to outside stimuli and causes.

Light wear to title labels and slight darkening to spines traces of paper stuck to back board of Vol. 1 else Fine with contents bright and unmarked. A scarce set in truly excellent condition.<br /> <br /> A major work of 19th century philosophy and the author's magnum opus which he spent the remainder of his life revising and promoting. The title is generally translated The World as Will and Representation. Herein Schopenhauer maintains that life is a constant struggle and suffering the "heroic life project" that is doomed to fail. His call for realism and pessimism in the face of disaster to avoid sugar-coating reality makes this work always relevant and challenging. J.R. Osgood & Co unknown books

Vol. 1 with light occasinal marginal browspotting. 6 465 1 pp.; IV 531 pp. <br/><br/><em>The scarce first edition of Schopenhauer's most influential work his final masterpiece which consists in his seminal philosophical reflections. The Parerga and Paralipomena was the first of his works to gain recognition and the work that propelled the then obscure figure into lasting philosophical prominence. Seeing that all of Schopenhauer's previous publications had been complete failures it was only with great difficulty and reluctance that Hayn of Berlin was pesuaded to print the work which they then only did in a small printrun of merely 750 copies which now makes the first edition very difficult to find. The work is is two parts with the first "parerga"-part consisting in six extended essays intended as supplementary to the author's thought whereas the second "paralipomena"-part consists in shorter elaborations divided by topic into thirty-one subheadings that cover material hitherto unaddressed by Schopenhauer but complementary to the "parerga". In spite of the poor reception of his earlier works somehow the “Parerga and Paralipomena attracted the attention of John Oxenford a noted observer and translator of German literary culture who contributed a favourable review of the work in 1852 and in 1853 wrote an article on Schopenhauer's philosophy entitled "Iconoclasm in German Philosophy" which through its German translation in Vossische Zeitung sparked in immediate interest of Schopenhauer's work in Germany and propelled him into philosophical fame. “The effect was dramatic and almost overnight Schopenhauer in his own country passed from obscurity to fame and from then till his death in 1860he basked in the sunshine of belated recognition and eminence.†Payne in the Preface to his translation of Parerga and Paralipomena into English Oxford 2000p. xii The work greatly influenced later philosophers most notably Nietzsche whose fondness of aphorism is directly inspired by “Parerga and Paralipomenaâ€. “One of the most significant and fascinating works of the great philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer 1788-1860. The Parerga Volume 1 are six long essays; the Paralipomena Volume 2 are shorter writings arranged under thirty-one different subject-headings. These works won widespread attention with their publication in 1851 helping to secure lasting international fame for Schopenhauer. Indeed their intellectual vigor literary power and rich diversity are still extraordinary even today.†Payne. </em> hardcover

Housed in custom clamshell cases quarter navy morocco over blue marbled boards decorative gilt stamping to spines.<br /> <br /> <p>The first British edition of Schopenhauer's magnum opus Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung which he first published in 1818 and spent a lifetime revising. Schopenhauer's depiction of life as eternal struggle met with a chilly reception from German idealists and the pessimist was not recognized as a major philosopher until 1851. It took another thirty years for Schopenhauer's most important work to be translated into English by R. B. Haldane and J. Kemp but many of his theories were widely accepted by the end of the 19th century. His faith in art as a means to perceive the underlying truth of all things "the Will" influenced the French Decadent movement and the works of Wagner Kafka and Borges. Thomas Mann championed Schopenhauer's clear-eyed rationalism as a necessary counter to the twentieth century's glorification of instinct including bad instincts: "We have seen instead of pessimistic conviction deliberate malice." His work is as relevant now as it was when these books were first printed. Truebner & Co unknown
