‎Verona, apud hearedes Marci Moroni, 1779. (8), 364 pp. 4to. Contemporary marbled calf, spine gilt with raised bands, red label with gilt lettering, very slightly worn. Ziegenfuß, ii, p. 907. First edition was published in 1734. Christian Wolff (1679-1754) was an outstanding philosopher and mathematician. His philosophy is close to that of Leibnitz and is seen as a modification of the philosophy of Leibnitz. Wolff held almost undisputed sway in Germany till his philosophy was replaced by the Kantian revolution. The merits of Wolff's philosophy are his comprehensive view of philosophy as embracing in its survey the whole field of human knowledge, his insistence everywhere on clear and methodic exposition, and his confidence in the power of reason to reduce all subjects to this form. To this must be added that he was practically the first to 'teach philosophy to speak German'. - Ex-libris 'Biblioteca Del Excmo. Senor Marques de Astorga' pasted in blank outer margin of the dedication. ‎
