1946483421946. Fine. 1946 21.70 x 11.50 cm 7 feuillets foliotés Autograph manuscript by the author 14 pages in octavo published in issue no. 12 December 1945January 1946 of L'Arche. A complete recto-verso manuscript in a densely written hand with numerous deletions corrections and additions. Essay published on the occasion of the release of Father du Lubacs Le Drame de lhumanisme athée. After the war the place of Friedrich Nietzschealongside the Marquis de Sade and Søren Kierkegaardin Maurice Blanchots thought reflects the decisive influence of Georges Bataille and the philosophers he held in highest regard. From this point on Blanchot devoted many texts to these figures and Du côté de Nietzsche stands as a key testimony of that engagement. The very title of his forthcoming collection La Part du feu to be published in 1949 including this article in a slightly revised form is itself a Bataillean reference. For Blanchot Nietzsches power through his use of language and style lies less in his most explicit and oft-commented theses than in the crucible of a more fluid and sometimes self-contradictory discourse: « L'influence de Nietzsche ne se réduit pas aux formes extérieures qu'elle a prises ; c'est probablement au contraire ce qui de Nietzsche a échappé à toute transmission manifeste cette part de lui étrangère aux influences directes qui a exercé l'influence la plus profonde. » This idea would remain central to Blanchots reading of the German philosopher. Nietzsches inconsistency and ambiguity are embodied in the theme of the death of God central to his work: « En aucune façon le thème de la Mort de Dieu ne peut être l'expression d'un savoir définitif ou l'esquisse d'une proposition stable » Blanchot observes. And he famously adds: « Se contredire est le mouvement essentiel d'une telle pensée. » In LEntretien infini 1969 Blanchot would once again revisit the Nietzschean question of the death of God where it meets that of the unity of man. A remarkable text by Maurice Blanchot on Friedrich Nietzsche illustrating the profound influence of Georges Bataille on his thought. unknown

1887927Leipzig: E.W. Fritzsch 1887. First Thus. Hardcover. Very good. First complete edition of one of Nietzsches most important texts! <br /> <br /> <br />NIETZSCHE Friedrich.

III XII = Vorrede 1 leaf = Half-title 5 350 1 leaf = Berichtigungen; Octavo. First Edition Second Issue Definitive. Schaberg 51. <br /> <br /> <br />A must have for any Nietzsche collection. This Neue Ausgabe consisted of the 788 unsold sheets from the first edition of 1882 with the addition of a new title page Nietzsches new 10-page Vorrede Preface 2 new half-title pages and a new 5th book "Wir Furchtlosen" We Fearless Ones. Thus 75 new pages along with fourteen pages of poetry appear here for the first time. While the first edition appeared in 1882 it was incomplete. This is truly the first edition of the complete and definitive text of what is today read as The Gay Science. Nietzsche felt that the Vorrede to this and the other reissues of 1886/7 were among the best things that he ever wrote. <br /> <br />The Gay Science which is the final and culminating volume of Nietzsches aphoristic works contains the first instance of his famous statement Gott ist tot! God is Dead first in section 108 then more elaborately detailed in the Parable of the Madman in section 125 and for a third time in section 343. It also contains the first appearance of the doctrine of the "Eternal Return of the Same" which plays such a prominent role in Zarathustra and even includes the Nietzsches first mention of the Uebermensch. <br /> <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very good in a quarter leather contemporary binding with marbled boards gilt lettering to the spine.

1878928Chemnitz: Schmeitzner 1878. Second Edition. Hardcover. Very good. NIETZSCHE Friedrich Die Geburt der Tragödie The Birth of Tragedy. Schmeitzner Chemnitz 1878. TP III-IV 1-144 Octavo. The famous Second Edition First Issue of Nietzsche's first book. Schaberg 30. <br /> <br />The publication history of Nietzsche s Birth of Tragedy is about as complicated as any. The 143-page first edition appeared in 1872 published by E.W. Fritzsch. Shortly after its release Fritzsch printed a second edition that included Nietzsche s corrections extending the text to 144 pages. This was completed by March of 1874 yet because of some conflicts between Nietzsche and Fritzsch and the financial difficulties Fritzsch was experiencing the 750 copies of this 144-page second edition were never available for sale. They sat in a warehouse for 4 years until Schmeitzner Nietzsche s new publisher acquired the copies. Schmeitzner affixed his own label on top of the original publisher s information and made the books available for sale. Very few sold no more than 175. In 1886 the unsold copies of both the 143-page first edition and the 144-page second edition ended up back with the original publisher Fritzsch who added Nietzsche s new preface along with a new title page for the "Neue Ausgabe" edition the definitive edition if the 144-page copy!. Thus fewer than 175 copies in this state 144-pages with the original title page and Schmeitzner label extant. A rare find and a must-have for any Nietzsche collection to be complete.Printing and the Mind of Man notes "Nietzsche's principle work during the Wagner period 1868-1878 was Die Geburt der Tragodie aus dem Geist der Musik 1872. In this he adopted a tragico-pessimistic conceptions of Greek civilization like Burckhardt but contrary to Grote. This started his career as a critic of modern civilization based on disgust with imperial Germany Christianity bourgeois ethics and so on." PMM 224. In this his first book Nietzsche theorized that Greek tragedy was built upon a wedding of two principles that he associated with the deities Apollo and Dionysus. The Apollonian principle is the principle of order static beauty and clear boundaries. The Dionysian principle in contrast is the principle of frenzy excess and the demolition of boundaries. It is in the subtle interaction of these disparate principles that the greatness of Greek tragedy resides and by extension in which the creative spirit still finds its proper soil. The book ended with a long section devoted to Richard Wagner and the importance of his music. When first released it met with only limited success. Despite Nietzsche's eventual near contempt for the book - from the perspective naturally of his later unequalled masterpieces of German prose - it must be considered along with Aristotle and Hegel among the greatest contributions to the understanding of Greek tragedy and in fact to the Greek way of life in general. <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very Good in contemporary half-calf and marbled boards. Light wear. Gilt lettering. Light foxing. Former owners name neatly inscribed to upper corner of front free endpaper. As issued with Schmeitzner's label canceling out Fritzsch's imprint. A very good copy of a very rare book. <br/><br/> Schmeitzner hardcover
1878952Chemnitz: Schmeitzner 1878. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Nietzsches First Aphoristic Work and His Introduction of Perspectivism <br /> <br />NIETZSCHE Friedrich. Menschliches Allzumenschliches. Ein Buch für freie Geister Human all too Human. A Book for Free Spirits. Schmeitzner Chemnitz 1878. 1 blank leaf half title TP 1 leaf = Vorrede 1 leaf = Inhalt 1 leaf = half title 3 377 378= Printers information 1 leaf = publisher's advertisements 1 blank leaf. Octavo. First Edition First Issue Schaberg 29. <br /> <br /> <br />Includes initial half title before the full title page and the eere correction cut and pasted by Schmeitzner over menon a non-word to create meere sea on p290 aphorism 431 and advertisements. <br /> <br />Only 489 copies of this first edition first issue as the remaining 511 of the original 1000 first edition copies were sold to E. W. Fritzsch in 1886 for use in a new edition with new title page and without the ads. Thus this copy is extremely rare in any state. <br /> <br />This is the first book by Nietzsche where he is listed simply as Friedrich Nietzsche rather than as prof. In fact Human All Too Human constituted such a radical departure in style and content for Nietzsche that he first proposed to his publisher that it be released anonymously or with a pseudonym. Schmeitzner however would not allow it. <br /> <br />Reluctant to construct a philosophical system and sensitive to the importance of style in philosophic writing Nietzsche composed these works as a series of several hundred aphorisms a departure from his style up to this point. Much of the work is devoted to what one might now call "psychoanalytical" insights into the nature of common human experience and the origins of our human valuations. At the time serious inquiry into such things as the nature of dreams the meaning of pity or the phenomenon of laughter had no place in the field of philosophy. <br /> <br />Human All Too Human also contains Nietzsches reflections upon cultural and psychological phenomena in reference to individuals' organic and physiological constitutions. The idea of power sporadically appears as an explanatory principle but Nietzsche tends at this time to invoke hedonistic considerations of pleasure and pain in his explanations of cultural and psychological phenomena. It is here too that Nietzsche's famous epistemological "perspectivism" is first broached: the view that "truths" are nothing more than interpretations of reality formed from different perspectives and more or less successful in their struggle against competing "truths." <br /> <br />Like the four books to follow the present work is addressed to the "free spirits of Europe." It was the present work that finally divided Nietzsche from his greatest friend Richard Wagner more and more in Nietzsche's mind motivated by only the most simplistic greed for power and betraying the promise of his art. <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very good in somewhat later boards with cloth spine. Origiinal front wrapper affixed to front board slightly browned. Internally bright and clean with a couple pages of some spotting along edges. One page of publisher's ads present but seeminly repaired along fore edge . Sunning to rear board. <br/><br/>PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST Schmeitzner hardcover

189843879Leipzig Naumann 1898. Small 8vo. Uncut in the original green printed wrappers. Spine with a bit of wear and minor wear to extremities. A very fine and clean copy in the scarce original wrappers. A 4-line presentation-inscription by Friedrich Jodl to front free end-paper dated "23.8.98". <br/><br/><em>The rare first edition of Nietzsche's poems and maxims the first complete collection of his poetry which furthermore constitutes the first appearance of all nine properly corrected "Dionysian Dithyrambs" in one volume.This one of 1.000 copies printed of the first run without "Second Edition" on the title-page as the other 1.000 copies of the first edition had. According to Elizabeth Förster-Nietzsche Nietzsche's sister who has assembled the present collection "this collection of poems and maxims shows the entire poetic development of my brother over a period of 30 years. It begins at a time when the earliest stuttering poetical expression has been overcome and ends with the highest rising of the poetic spirit who in order to find words can now only speak in dithyrambs." own translation from the Introduction p. XIII. Numerous of the poems have never been printed before and many are printed from the original manuscripts which Elizabeth had in her possession.Though Nietzsche is primarily understood and remembered as one of the greatest philosophers of all times his poems occupy a central place in his literary production and many of them e.g. the Dithyrambs are intimately linked with the philosophy for which he is so famous today. Furthermore the present volume underlines the popular modern view of Nietzsche as the not only philosophical but also literary and artistic genious. The first edition of the work is difficult to find and is rarely seen for sale.THE PRESENT COPY HAS BELONGED TO FREIDRICH JODL 1849-1914 the famous German philosopher and contemporary of Nietzsche and bears his signature as well as a 4-line dated presentation-inscription to front free end-paper. Jodl ranks as one of the most significant representatives of German expressionism and is still remembered for his original ontological works with their constant focus on empiricism as the only true strand of philosophy. He has also written a number of important works within the history of philosophy and ethics psychology and aesthetics which for decades counted as standard works and he is among the first to develop the intellectual environment that ultimately led to among many other things the founding of the Vienna Circle. His main task was to develop and spread a purely naturalistic ethics free of any religious or metaphysical elements and he is considered a modern "Enlightenment philosopher" whose consistent empiricism well-founded philosophical ideas optimistic theories of culture ethics the value of life & the progress of man inspired many later thinkers and furthermore helped promote important political and social ideas such as free popular education etc. His main works which are now standard works within ethics and psychology and which were printed over and over again are "Geschichte der Ethik als philosophischer Wissenschaft" in which he presents man's cultural development as the process of liberation from religious and metaphysical ideas and the change from a theocentric to an anthropocentric foundation of ethics. This work is followed up by his purely epirically founded "Lehrbuch der Psychologie" which grounds the same ideas psychologically. After having been Privatdzent in Munich he was named professor of philosophy at the German University in Prague and in 1896 he accepted a professorship of philosophy at the University of Vienna. He was greatly successful in Vienna and was considered the most prominent liberal professor here whose numerous lectures and articles against the reigning "Ultramintanismus" and the clerical influence in schools and universities found great resonance with scholars and students. He had a huge number of followers not only at the university but also in the public as a political figure as well. He is partly to thank for the emergence of an intellectual climate in Vienna in the 20th century which later led to Neopositivism and the founding of the Vienna Circle."We need no other mediator between us and nature except our understanding and a courageous will nor any mystery behind nature to console us for her; we are alone with nature and we feel secure because we possess intellect and she behaves according to laws" Jodl Vom wahren und vom falschen Idealismus p. 40. </em> unknown

1898886<p>Petersburg: New Journal of Foreign Literature 1898. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. First Russian Translation of Nietzsche <br /><br />NIETZSCHE Friedrich Tak govoril Zaratustra Also Sprach Zarathustra New Journal of Foreign Literature St Petersburg 1898. Blank leaf TP 3 - 5 = translators introduction 6 - 90 1 leaf = advertisements 1 blank leaf thin octavo. First Russian translation of Nietzsches Also Sprach Zarathustra translated by Yu Antonovsky. <br /><br />This is the very first translation of Zarathustra in Russian written by Yu Antonovsky in 1898 just really a few months before a second bilingual edition translated by Nani. With so much censorship in Russia any translation was really an art form creatively trying to communicate Nietzsches or any philosophers! ideas into a voice acceptable to the heightened sensitivities of the authorities under both Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II. Hence the incomplete translations of both Antonovsky in 1898 and Nani in 1899. This first Russian translation based on the 10th German edition comprises all but part IV. Perhaps there were contents of part IV that ruffled the feathers of the censors; perhaps Antonovsky actually relied upon the 1886 German edition which only included parts I - III as part IV was not published publicly in Germany until 1892. <br /><br />Thus Spoke Zarathustra is one of Nietzsche's most famous works and Nietzsche regarded it as among his most significant. Thoroughly studied and re-studied by scholars throughout the 20th century the character of Zarathustra stands as a figure marking the end of Modernity by some i.e. Heidegger the beginning of Post-Modernity by others i.e. Derrida; the text a personal soteriological narrative of Nietzsches own self-overcoming and a parable for others towards the same transformation. Though Thus Spoke Zarathustra attempts to destroy and replace the Judeo-Christian world-view Nietzsches style borrows heavily from the Old and New Testament. Nietzsche also adopts myriad metaphors invoking animals earth air fire water celestial bodies plants all in the service of describing the spiritual transformation of Zarathustra a solitary reflective exceedingly strong-willed sage-like laughing and dancing voice of self-mastery who accompanied by a proud sharp-eyed eagle and a wise snake believed in a mode of being beyond the common human condition but without the need to posit a transcendent other world. Nietzsche refers to this higher mode of being as superhuman übermenschlich one that embraces the doctrine of eternal recurrence a doctrine for only the strongest who can love life in its entirety who embrace their suffering and would only again will it to be thus! <br /><br />CONDITION: Very good in original quarter cloth with purple boards. Light edgewear. Pages 11 - 14 with small erasure mark that wore through the paper. A few scattered pencil marks otherwise an excellent well-preserved copy all in original condition. <br /><br /><br /></p> New Journal of Foreign Literature hardcover

Nietzsche also attended and their meeting resulted in later invitations. Zimmern spent a few weeks in Sils Maria in the summer of 1886 where Nietzsche used to reside in the summer months in those years. Their discussions in this summer must have helped Zimmern quite a lot when later translating Jenseits of which she got 2 presentation copies.
