See scan which is taken with the book protected by mylar somewhat compromising color vividness. Under his much more familiar pseudonym John Norman Lange wrote the entire Gor series of Science Fiction titles which because of the richness of its concept of sexual and other slavery as a contextually beautiful thing spawned an entire branch of the BDSM community that being Gorean BDSM. The Cognitivity Paradox is the only title authored by Lange alone under his given name and this copy was the first one he signed as per his statement to the original owner provenance to purchase. The book itself is non-fiction a sort of general criticism of philosophy in fact as it turns out of a particular form of rigorous classical philosophy. The main thrust of his criticism is that despite centuries of struggle within philosophy to make its endeavor a cognitive one - i.e. one which yields objective knowledge - philosophy philosophers has itself made that impossible by defining itself in a way which precludes by that definition its being cognitive. Despite statements to the contrary in jacket blurbs Lange's own reasoning here is pretty much presented with the same uncomfortably stiff-sounding strictures jargon and mental pigeon-holing of which formal philosophy is often guilty - if you define "formal philosophy" as an averaging-out of what full-time professional general-purpose philosophers have done over the last two hundred or so years. But he probably felt he had to do that at the time. It was 1970. His more natural philosophizing done as John Norman and couched largely as objective correlatives in the adventures of Gor is much more fun to read. But this book is interesting in its own way and certainly is unique as his first signature ever in a copy of the only work he ever authored alone under his given name. l-44 n <br/> <br/> Princeton University Press hardcover

17259Both composed in Elmer West Sussex in 1955. The colourful life of the 'deeply eccentric Bradford-born writer' Jaeger is the subject of a good obituary in the Scotsman 2 October 2008. In his youth Jaeger was adopted by Lady Margaret Sackville and moved in Edinburgh high society. While studying at Montpelier University he developed a close friendship with the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. While living in Bognor Regis he made the acquaintance of Julian Maclaren-Ross with whom he sampled the wares of Fitzrovia. After the war he and Maclaren-Ross - whom he caricatured in his novel 'The Man in the Top Hat' 1949 - became door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen. The pair then turned to screenwriting alongside the future director of 'Barbarella' Roger Vadim. Throughout the fifties - and whilst also working as a labourer and playing cricket for the Sussex second eleven - Jaeger produced several charming children's books under the name 'Karel Jaeger'. In 1958 he landed a job teaching French and cricket at a prep school in Chichester and he and his wife moved into a cottage on the grounds. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in him and his work. The two items are in very good condition on lightly-aged paper in matching fake leather bindings the first green and the second black with gilt titling on the spines. Both have the pages typed on rectos only. ONE: 'Letters from an Oyster Bed.' 4 65pp. 4to. Title page reads: '"Letters From An Oyster Bed" by C. K. Jaeger'. At end of final page: 'Elmer Jan. Feb. 55.' Dedication on second page: 'Dedicated to the Boys Jeremy & Christopher Bangay . for their Encouragement.' Chapters on third page: 'The First Letter' 'The Man From Brighton' 'A Sensational Morning' 'Lord Ben' 'Disturbing News' 'The Mayor and Lord Benn sic' 'Smollett Sounds the Ocean' 'News from England' 'Skipper Cuttle' and 'The Oyster Bed'. Jaeger has been compared to Lewis Carroll and the start of the novel gives a good indication of his style: 'The shattering news from Professor Knopp came quite unexpectedly. We were taking tea in the garden a garden that was built high up on a hill overlooking the English Channel. The seashell paths around us shimmered in the sunlight. The sky was a lilac blue. Not a cloud to be seen anywhere. Across the Channel the French were waving to us and the Rock of Gibraltar peeped over the horizon. My nephew Tan-Tan was gathering Sea Lemons in the garden. Suddenly from out of the lilac blue sky a Seagull swooped upon us and landed on the tea-table. "You Professor Dibley Dee" I sat up in surprise and looked over my spectacles at the Seagull. "Yes. . . . ." I nodded. "Thought it was. Couldn't mistake YOUR face with that long beard. Why don't you put a name or a number on your gate I've wasted hours looking for you. Can't understand people wanting to build houses on hilltops. Thank goodness I've got wings. Letter for you."' TWO: ''"The Autobiography of a Flea" or A Kind of Memoir'. 4 61pp. 4to. Title page reads: '"THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FLEA" or A Kind of Memoir by C. K. Jaeger.' At end of final page: 'Elmer. March - May. 1955'. Epigraph on second page conveys the surreal tone: 'The King and Queen of Portugander. Papa can be seen on His Majesty's cuff. Mama is on the hat. I wasn't born then.' The third page states that thhe book is dedicated to 'Catherine Karel Charlotte Joanna Sarah and Patsy With the kind permission of MACHO'. The fourth page lists the chapters 'Capitulos.' from 'The Palace where I was Born' to 'Mama's triumphant departure from the Palace'. Ownership inscription on front free endpaper: 'BROWN 9 HASLET AVE PRINCETON. NJ'. Both composed in Elmer, West Sussex, in 1955. hardcover
