‎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.‎

‎Rare first edition of Kant's monumental main work, arguably the most important work in the history of philosophy since Aristotle.The ""Critique of Pure Reason"" took Kant about a decade to write, and the work is of the utmost scarcity. It is due to this work that Kant became world famous as one of the three or four greatest philosophers of all times, and the work fundamentally changed the face of philosophy. With this work philosophy is finally provided with a new and comprehensive way of dealing systematically with the problems of philosophy. ""In 1770 Kant became professor of logic and metaphysics, and at this point there is a sudden falling off in number of his publications. The cause of this became clear eleven years later when ""The Critique of Pure Reason"" appeared"" and with it Kant became famous. Kant's great achievement was to conclude finally the lines on which philosophical speculation had proceeded in the eighteenth century, and to open up a new and more comprehensive system of dealing with the problems of philosophy... The influence of Kant is paramount to the critical method of modern philosophy. No other thinker has been able to hold with such firmness the balance between speculative and empirical ideas. His penetrating analysis of the elements involved in synthesis, and the subjective process by which these elements are realized in the individual consciousness, demonstrated the operation of ""pure reason"", and the simplicity and cogency of his arguments achieved immediate fame.""
