194941448Paris Vrin 1949. 8vo. Original printed wrappers. A few pencil-underlinings in the text. With discreete stamp to title-page: "Michel Adam". A very fine and clean copy. 107 5 pp. <br/><br/><em>The uncommon first edition of this collection of early essays constituting the first appearance in book form of two highly important articles by one of the most significant philosophers of the 20th century. The two articles were originally published in Revue Philosophique in 1932 and 1940 but only really with their appearance in book form did they exercise their great influence in France. The essays by Levinas on the phenomenology of Husserl and Heidegger served to introduce this strain of philosophy in France where it would go on to dominate academic philosophy until the middle of the 1970s. As such these essays are crucial documents to anybody with an interest in the development of 20th century continental philosophy.However this volume has the added attraction of providing us with an insight into the genesis of Levinas' own thought. The experience of the Second World War which Levinas spent as a prisoner of war in Germany led him to question the ethical foundations of phenomenology and to reconsider his earlier uncritical attachment to Heidegger. It is thus by engaging critically with the conception of philosophy that is manifested in his own pre-war works that Levinas shall elaborate such masterpieces of philosophy as Totalité and Infini and Autrement qu'être. </em> unknown

XVIII 284 pp. <br/><br/><em>The rare first edition of this absolute masterpiece of 20th century philosophy and a towering achievement of philosophical ethics Levinas' main work in which he introduced the concepts "the face of the other" and "radical alterity".The French-Lithuanian philosopher Emmanuel Levinas was among the first French academic philosophers to come to Freiburg to study phenomenology with Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger and subsequently introduced this philosophical methodology in France among others to Jean-Paul Sartre who would a few years later go to Germany to study phenomenology himself."Totalité et Infini" Levinas' first major work grew out of his experience of the Second World War which he survived as a prisoner of war in Germany. It revolves around the possibility of ethics in a world dominated by the will to power and the inescapable reality of war. The prominence which it rapidly attained through its enthusiastic reception by contemporaries such as Paul Ricoeur is tied to the originality and urgency of its reflection on the foundation of ethics - and the ethical foundation of philosophy itself. This is at the heart of Levinas' claim that ethics must be understood as the primary form of philosophy.The concepts which "Totalité et Infini" introduced into philosophy the face of the Other radical alterity now form part of the grammar of modern ethical reflection. In these years the work is also finding reception in aesthetics in part through the writings of Levinas' close friend Maurice Blanchot. </em> hardcover

Wrappers loose. Text nice and clean. 2 VII 1 136 pp. 1 f. blank. <br/><br/><em>The rare first edition of the main work of transcendental phenomenology Husserl's highly important "Cartesian Meditations" - which came to profoundly influence French philosophy for decades to come - with a very interesting presentation-inscription for the important philosopher who is now primarily remembered for introducing the philosophy of Husserl to the English speaking public "Herrn Prof. Chr. V. Salmon/ mit herzlichen Grüssen/ E Husserl"; Salmon famously translated Husserl's important Encyclopedia Britannica article on Phenomenology and lectured on Husserl in English spreading his thoughts in the English speaking world - just as Lévinas did in France.This seminal work is based on two two-hour lectures that Husserl gave at the Sorbonne in 1929. Over the next couple of years Husserl together with his assistant Eugen Fink expanded and elaborated upon the text of the lectures and had Lévinas and Gabrielle Peiffer translate them under the supervision of Alexandre Kyré Husserl's former student. The work was not published in German in Husserl's lifetime and only appereared in 1950. In 1960 an English translation appeared. The "Cartesian Meditations" constitutes Husserl's introduction to transcendental phenomenology and introduces many of his most important ideas - the transcendental reduction the epoché static and genetic phenomenology eidetic reduction and eidetic phenomenology. "Having received his M.A. in philosophy at Oxford Christopher Verney Salmon studied with Husserl in Freiburg during the winter semester of 1922 and again during 1926-1927. In the summer of 1927 Salmon defended the doctoral dissertation that he had written under Husserl's direction "The Central Problem of Hume's Philosophy: A Phenomenological Interpretation of the First Book of the "Treatise on Human Nature". The was published a year later in Husserl's "Jahrbuch" and Husserl refers to that forthcoming publication in his Bibliography to Draft A of the Article. A year after translating the EB article Salmon was appointed a lecturer at the University of Belfast and he continued to present Husserl's philosophy to the English-speaking public. On December 2 1929 he delivered a lecture to the Aristotelian Society in London "The Starting-Point of Husserl's Philosophy". Soon after that he helped W.R. Boyce Gibson read the page proofs of Boyce Gibson's translation of Husserl's "Ideas" and in 1932 a year after the work came out in English Salmon published a review of it. However contact between Salmon and Husserl fell off after that and in the spring of 1937 Husserl noted that Professor Salmon had not written to him over the last years. Salmon published a brief article in French on Husserl in 1947. He died in 1960."
