‎Das Prinzip Hoffnung. 3 Bde. - [THE PRINCIPLE OF HOPE - PRESENTATION-COPY]‎

‎Berlin, 1954-59. Lex 8vo. All three in the original blue full cloth bindings, in excellent condition, in- as well as ex-ternally. Some light pencil-underlinings. 477, (3) 512, (1)" 518, (1) pp. + Errata for vols. I+II laid loose in vol. With a five-line presentation-inscription to front free end-paper of volume 1, signed in full: ""Herrn Gehrke/ in freundlicher Gesinnung/ mit besten Wünschen/ 30.VIII.54/ Ernst Bloch"". ‎

‎The scarce first edition of all three volumes, with signed and dated presentation-inscription (in the year of appearance), of Bloch's magnum opus, his seminal ""The Principle of Hope"", which constitutes his philosophy of concrete utopia. The hugely influential German philosopher Ernst Bloch (1885-1977) was born as the son of Jewish parents in Ludwigshafen. He studied philosophy, physics, German and music in Munich and Würzburg and later became a main figure in Neomarxism. As his first book, ""Geist der Utopie"" was written while in exile in Switzerland during the First World War, this his main work was written while in exile in America during the Second World War, between 1938 and 1947, and it appeared for the first time in the DDR between 1954 and 1959. ""The Principle of Hope"" is considered a philosophical-political piece of art, which consideres in both philosophical-scientific and humanistic ways the possibilities for a utopia, at the same time as it traces throughout history man's strivings for utopia. The world is presented as open to man - open for man to make it the place that enables us to live like proper human beings. ""Ernst Bloch's Principle of Hope is one of the key books of our century. Part philosophic speculation, part political treatise, part lyric vision, it is exercising a deepening influence on thought and on literature. . . . No political or theological appropriations of Bloch's leviathan can exhaust its visionary breadth."" (editorial review by George Steiner, the 1986 English language edition). As his ""Geist der Utopie"" begins with the powerful words: ""What now? It is enough. Now we have to begin. Life has been put in our hands. In itself it has already become empty long ago. It staggers senselessly around, but we stand firm, and thus we want to be its Faustus and its ends."", so his ""Das Prinzip Hoffnung"" begins with the equally powerful words: ""Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? What do we expect? What awaits us? Many feel as nothing but confused. The ground rocks, they do not know why and from what. This their state is fear, if it becomes more defined, it is fear. Once, someone set out to learn fear."" (""""Wer sind wir? Wo kommen wir her? Wohin gehen wir? Was erwarten wir? Was erwartet uns? Viele fühlen sich nur als verwirrt. Der Boden wankt, sie wissen nicht warum und von was. Dieser ihr Zustand ist Angst, wird er bestimmter, so ist er Furcht. Einmal zog einer aus, das Fürchten zu lernen.""The conception of ""Prinzip Hoffnung"" has now, due to this work, become a frequently used saying, not only in Germany, but also in America and large parts of Europe, where ""The Pronciple of Hope"" is used in numerous political and economical discussions, most actually for instance in the climate debate. The influence of the work has been immense, and it has done much to re-create modern man's belief in the world today and our ability to do good.‎

‎Geist der Utopie. - [THE MAIN WORK OF GERMAN EXPRESSIONISM]‎

‎München und Leipzig, Duncker & Humblot, 1918. Lex 8vo. Uncut in the orig. dark grey-brown wrappers, printed in gold on front wrapper and spine. Spine and lettering thereupon faded. Some smaller nicks, creases and loss of paper to extremities. Minor loss to capitals and two smaller holes w. a bit of loss to hinges. Overall an excellent copy in the fragile wrappers, rarely seen in such fine condition. Internally some minor brownspotting throughout, due to the paper-quality. With the ownership signature of J.B. Dumont deted ""Sept. '21"" to title-page and his stamp on half-title. 445 pp.‎

‎The rare first edition of Bloch's first major work, ""The Spirit of Utopia"", an expressionalist main work, which attempts to unite Marxism with Jewish-Christian messianism.The hugely influential German philosopher Ernst Bloch (1885-1977) was born as the son of Jewish parents in Ludwigshafen. He studied philosophy, physics, German and music in Munich and Würzburg and later became a main figure in Neomarxism. His first book, ""Geist der Utopie"" was written while Bloch was in exile in Switzerland during the First World War, and in this seminal work we find the cornerstones of his later so influential philosophy. In the ""Spirit of Utopia"", Bloch unites Marxism Jewish-Christian messianism by the common utopian element of both views: Hope, and faith in the fact that the world will and can become a better place. Bloch here set out to defend the attempts of humankind throughout history to create a humane world order, against the determinist socialism that viewed socialism as the inevitable result of history. With Marx and with the love and morality of religion, Bloch places man (that thinks of the common good) at the centre of his thinking as well as the metaphysical ideas of that which is not yet, but which can become. And thus he creates the spirit of utopia, due to which man can make the world a better place. This massive work of art begins with the powerful words: ""What now? It is enough. Now we have to begin. Life has been put in our hands. In itself it has already become empty long ago. It staggers senselessly around, but we stand firm, and thus we want to be its Faustus and its ends."" (""Wie nun? Es ist genug. Nun haben wir zu beginnen. In unsere Hände ist das Leben gegeben. Für sich selber ist es längst schon leer geworden. Es taumelt sinnlos hin und her, aber wir stehen fest, und so wollen wir ihm seine Faust und seine Ziele werden."") (P.9).The work was viewed as attacking the traditional Marxism of the time, and thus it was very controversial but also became hugely influential in the development of social liberation. Bloch is now considered one of the most undogmatic Marxists of the past century, and he influenced later political and philosophical thinkers enormously. Adorno himself cited this text of Bloch as having been transformative for his intellectual life, and as stated on the wrapper of the English translation, ""When this work was first published, it had a profound effect on major thinkers and artists in Weimar Germany. A poetical philosophical treatise with unusual insights into culture and political commentary, Bloch' s book laid the groundwork for thinkers like Adorno and Benjamin."" (Jack Zipes, University of Minnesota).This rare highly expressionist work consists of 445 pages of non-dogmatic strongly expressionistic and very influential recipes on and analyses of how man does and should behave in the humane world. ""But in return, we paint like savages again, in the best sense, in the sense of the primordial, the restless, unconcerned, concerned. For this is more or less how the dancing-mask was carved. This is more or less how primitive man shaped his fetishes, if only the simple need to express oneself should again be the same"" (""Aber dafür malen wir auch wieder wie die Wilden, im besten Sinn des Frühen, Unruhigen und Barbarischen genommen. So ungefähr wurde auch die Tanzmaske geschnitzt, so ungefähr baute sich der primitive Mensch seinen Fetisch zurecht, sollte auch nichts als die Not des Aussprechenmüssens wieder dieselbe geworden sein.""). (P. 19).The work was much re-written, and the first editions differs from all later editions. ‎
