‎Wittgenstein's copy, with his own original signed owner's inscription in pencil to front free end-paper: ""Von Tommy zu/ Weinachten 1931/ Ludwig Wittgenstein"". For the academic year 1932, Wittgenstein had been granted leave from his official teaching engagements at Cambridge, in order to concentrate on his own work. He did, however, wish to give private unpaid discussion classes for interested students, and did so, in his rooms at Whewells Court. These discussion classes became famous, and the lectures that he gave that year even more so. As is evident from the present copy of Boehme's Works, Wittgenstein had been given this book (by ""Tommy"" - i.e. Tommy Stonborough (1906-1986), his nephew, being the oldest son of his sister Margarete Stonborough-Wittgenstein) for Christmas 1931. Having in his youth been fascinated by the ""mystics"", but for many years not worked on them, Wittgenstein, in his Cambridge lectures, commencing in the early 1930'ies (after Christmas 1931) revives certain aspects of the ""Teutonick philosophy"" that Böhme represents, finding resonance with many of his young disciples. Wittgenstein, as Schopenhauer (and Wittgenstein perhaps originally inspired by Schopenhauer's interest), was fascinated by the tradition of the mystics, going back to Hildegard von Bingen, Nicolaus von Cusa, Paracelsus, and probably most importantly Jacob Böhme, and through him the teachings of Bruno, which influenced his philosophy a great deal. Jacob Böhme (or Boehme, in English) was a German mystic, born in the East German town of Goerlitz in 1575 (died in 1624). He received almost no education and made his living as a shoemaker (thus also known as ""The Shoemaker of Goerlitz""), but was early on interested in the works of Paracelsus, the Kabbala, and the Hermetic tradition. He is most famous for his unfinished main work ""Aurora"" (also present in the present copy of his Works), which attracted a circle of followers. He came into conflict with the church on several occasions, was banned from writing and later banished from his home. He became hugely influential within German romanticism, and both Hegel, Baader, and Schelling were influenced by him. He has been given philosophical revivals at frequent intervals, through both Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Heidegger, Buber, and Wittgenstein.Wittgenstein's nephew, Thomas Stonborough, who gave him the present copy of Boehme's Works had studied psychology under Charlotte Bühler (and possibly here himself encountered the writings of Böhme, as e.g. Jung was heavily influenced by him and gives many references to him in his works). He was a silent partner of Bank Shields & Co in New York and for a period of time assistant at Columbia University. He had quite a bit to do with his famous uncle and later inherited the ""Wittgenstein-House"" in Kundmanngasse in Wien, which he sold in 1971. Wittgenstein handed over some of his belongings, including a number of his books, to his life-long friend Ludwig Hänsel. Among these belongings was the present copy of Böhme's Works given to him by his nephew. Wittgenstein did not have many close friends, but the closest -together with Rudolph Koder- was Luwig Hänsel, who was a high-school teacher of German and literature. Hänsel and Wittgenstein, who befriended each other in 1918 while being war prisoners in Monte Casino, also remained close friends throughout their lives.‎

‎The very rare first edition of the separate re-print - from the library of Wittgenstein (not stated anywhere in the copy, but the copy comes from the descendents of Hänsel, who verify the provenance) - of this essential paper, which also played a great rôle for Wittgenstein.Off-prints of the present work are of great scarcity, and the present copy has been in the possession of Ludwig Wittgenstein, who was probably given the copy by Moore himself. Wittgenstein handed over some of his belongings, including a number of his books, to his life-long friend Ludwig Hänsel. Among these belongings was the present copy of Moore's influential work.Wittgenstein did not have many close friends, but the closest- together with Rudolph Koder- was Luwig Hänsel, who was a high-school teacher of German and literature. Hänsel and Wittgenstein, who befriended each other in 1918 while being war prisoners in Monte Casino, also remained close friends throughout their lives.George Edward Moore (1873-1958) is one of the most influential of twentieth century philosophers, and his contributions to analytic philosophy can be compared to only those of Russell, Wittgenstein and Frege, with whom he founded this philosophical discipline. His impact on Anglo-American philosophy in the 20th century must be said to be nearly unsurpassed. The present work constitutes one of his most important contributions to philosophy, touching of several of the points that form the fundamental questions of e.g. Wittgenstein's ""Tractatus"""" for instance: what lies behind that which we see in the world? What can we say about it? And how? Or for Wittgenstein's ideas of e.g. private language: One of the main questions put forth here by Moore is: ""How do we know that there are any other people, who have perceptions in some respects similar to our own?"" (p. 2).""There are two beliefs in which almost all philosophers, and almost all ordinary people are agreed. Almost everyone believes that he himself and what he directly perceives do not constitute the whole of reality: he believes that ""something"" other than himself and what he directly perceives ""exists"" or is ""real"". (p. 1).There is no doubt that the essential questions put forth in the present paper have been of interest to Wittgenstein, and there is no doubt that Wittgenstein has read the present paper. In a letter to Russell from 1913 Wittgenstein writes: ""... By the way - would you be so good and send me two copies of Moore's paper: ""The Nature and Reality of Objects of Perception"" which he read to the Aristotelian Soc. in 1906. I am afraid I can't yet tell you the reason why I want two copies but you shall know it some day. If you kindly send me the bill with them I will send the money immediately after receiving the Pamplets..."" (L. Wittgenstein, Cambridge Letters, Blackwell Publishers, 1995).‎
