‎Paris, 1931. Lex 8vo. Original printed wrappers. Quite worn - and clearly very thorougly read. Spine taped together. Wrappers chipped at edges, just touching inscription at front wrapper. Wrappers loose. Text nice and clean. (2), VII, (1), 136 pp. + 1 f. (blank).‎

‎The rare first edition of the main work of transcendental phenomenology, Husserl's highly important ""Cartesian Meditations"" - which came to profoundly influence French philosophy for decades to come - with a very interesting presentation-inscription for the important philosopher, who is now primarily remembered for introducing the philosophy of Husserl to the English speaking public, ""Herrn Prof. Chr. V. Salmon/ mit herzlichen Grüssen/ E Husserl"""" Salmon famously translated Husserl's important Encyclopedia Britannica article on Phenomenology and lectured on Husserl in English, spreading his thoughts in the English speaking world - just as Lévinas did in France.This seminal work is based on two two-hour lectures that Husserl gave at the Sorbonne in 1929. Over the next couple of years, Husserl, together with his assistant Eugen Fink, expanded and elaborated upon the text of the lectures and had Lévinas and Gabrielle Peiffer translate them, under the supervision of Alexandre Kyré, Husserl's former student. The work was not published in German in Husserl's lifetime and only appereared in 1950. In 1960 an English translation appeared. The ""Cartesian Meditations"" constitutes Husserl's introduction to transcendental phenomenology and introduces many of his most important ideas - the transcendental reduction, the epoché, static and genetic phenomenology, eidetic reduction, and eidetic phenomenology. ""Having received his M.A. in philosophy at Oxford, Christopher Verney Salmon studied with Husserl in Freiburg during the winter semester of 1922 and again during 1926-1927. In the summer of 1927 Salmon defended the doctoral dissertation that he had written under Husserl's direction, ""The Central Problem of Hume's Philosophy: A Phenomenological Interpretation of the First Book of the ""Treatise on Human Nature"". The was published a year later in Husserl's ""Jahrbuch"", and Husserl refers to that forthcoming publication in his Bibliography to Draft A of the Article. A year after translating the EB article, Salmon was appointed a lecturer at the University of Belfast, and he continued to present Husserl's philosophy to the English-speaking public. On December 2, 1929 he delivered a lecture to the Aristotelian Society in London, ""The Starting-Point of Husserl's Philosophy"". Soon after that he helped W.R. Boyce Gibson read the page proofs of Boyce Gibson's translation of Husserl's ""Ideas"", and in 1932, a year after the work came out in English, Salmon published a review of it. However, contact between Salmon and Husserl fell off after that, and in the spring of 1937 Husserl noted that Professor Salmon had not written to him over the last years. Salmon published a brief article in French on Husserl in 1947. He died in 1960.""

‎Philosophie der Arithmetik. Psychologische und logische Untersuchungen. Erster Band (alles). - [HUSSERL'S FIRST MAJOR WORK]‎

‎Halle-Saale, C.E.M. Pfeffer (Robert Stricker), 1891. 8vo. Nice contemporary red half cloth with gilt title and gilt lines to spine. A very nice, clean, and fresh copy. XVI, 324 (last p. errata) pp.‎

‎The very rare first edition of Husserl's first major work, ""The Philosophy of Arithmetic"".Initially a student of mathematics, Husserl began attending Brentano's lectures on psychology and philosophy in Vienna and decided to devote himself primarily to philosophy. In 1887 he wrote ""Über den Begriff der Zahl"", on which his first proper scientific work which appeared four years later is based. In his ""Philosophy of Arithmetic"" he wishes to provide a sound foundation for mathematics by combining it with philosophy and psychology, here analyzing the psychological processes necessary for the concept of number, -a variant of the psychologism, he later came to criticize so severely. The book was met with instant positivity and received much warm praise, though one person criticized it to bits: Gottlob Frege. Frege who was one of the sharpest and most important logicians of the 19th century had shown that the sentences of arithmetic were analytical, and that arithmetic could be regarded as a branch of logic. He thus built the foundation of mathematical logistics. In spite of him being the chief logician of the 19th century, Frege was barely recognized in his lifetime, and he was barely read by his contemporaries. Husserl, however, did study him intensively, and we know for a fact that he knew all of Frege's works (at least until the year 1893), and it is likely that it was Frege who had inspired his interest in the relationship between the formalities of arithmetic and of logic. In this early work Husserl sharply attacks Frege and his anti-psychologism, and he sets out to define the natural numbers by counting with the methods of descriptive psychology (primarily Brentano's). It is to be noted, however, that the form of psychologism of logic and mathematics which he so sharply attacks in his logical investigations differs somewhat from the sort presented in his early work.The ""Philosophy of Arithmetic"" is also hugely interesting in the attempt to determine the philosophical development of the greatest philosopher of the very late 19th-20th century. He himself states that already before the work was published, he had changed his mind, and he had actually been in doubt as to psychologism from the very beginning. As opposed to what is frequently stated, Frege's attacks on Husserl's work is not fully justified, which Frege probably also recognized himself. Husserl actually does distinguish between subjective representation and objective representation, and objectivism is clearly stated in the ""Philosophy of Arithmetic"". Thus Husserl here actually, independent of Frege, reaches the same theory of sense and reference as him, and Frege also recognized this. Frege's attacks were probably to a large extent aimed at the current ideas of the foundations of arithmetics at the Berlin School of Weierstrass, but these differed from Husserl's point of view in a number of ways.Still, Husserl's notion of logic and mathematics must not be confused with Frege's" -for Frege Arithmetic can be derived from logic for Husserl mathematics is the ontological correlate of logic, but the two cannot be reduced to one another. Husserl is now famous as the father of phenomenology, and he decisively influenced the likes of Heidegger, Sertre, Carnap, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Ricoeur, Derrida etc. etc.‎

‎Belgrado (Beograd), 1936. 8vo. Pp. 77-176. The entire volume one of Philosophia present, uncut and in the original printed wrappers. A bit of tear and wear to extremities and spine of the fragile wrappers, but overall well-preserved. First two leaves of the entire volume (not the Krisis-article) with light brown patches. [Entire volume: 442 pp.].‎

‎The very rare first printing of the first appearance of the first printed part (the only part to appear within his life-time) of Husserl's seminal work in which he develops his path-breaking project of linking the basic notions of science back to their conceptual roots in the pre-scientific parts of the ""life-world"". The work constitutes the last great work of the most important philosopher of the 20th century, the principal founder of phenomenology. In ""Krisis"", Husserl considers the pervasive sense of crisis in European culture, while attempting to give the last in a long line of introductions by him to the method of phenomenological research which he had founded. ""Krisis"" develops themes which are found in earlier works by Husserl, most importantly, the question of the constitution of intersubjectivity in the Cartesian Meditations (1929). However, a great interest of the work lies in its inflexion of the phenomenological methodology. Husserl, a mathematician by education, had articulated phenomenology as a rigorous science, on the ideals of 19th century rationalism. This understanding of the role of science and of philosophy permeates his earlier research which, while also treating social and historical phenomena, always does so from the vantage point of individual consciousness. In ""Krisis"", Husserl cuts the umbilical cord to individual consciousness. We find him engaged in what he describes as a ""teleological-historical reflection upon the origins of our critical scientific and philosophical situation"". This reflection revolves around the concept of ""life-world"" (Lebenswelt) which Husserl introduces as the designation of the pre-theoretical and unreflected element, out of which scientific thought arises. Husserl attributes the alienation of man in Europe to the fact that the sciences have forgotten that they are rooted in the ""life-world"". The concept has since played a pivotal role in the theory of communicative action of Jürgen Habermas. Krisis is the last work of the most influential philosopher of the 20th century. As such, it is an essential for anybody with an interest in phenomenology, the dominant non-analytic strain of philosophical reflection in the 20th century. At the same time, it represents something as exceptional as the radicalization of an entire life's work which opens up to entire new perspectives. It translates Husserl's sense of the growing malaise and restlessness in European culture, of which he himself was a victim since the Nazi take-over of power in Germany in 1933. But it is also a reply to the then increasingly successful existentialist philosophies of Martin Heidegger and Karl Jaspers, in whose work Husserl saw a travesty of his own philosophy and a threat to the foundation of European culture. In this sense, it is the last element in what is one of the most fruitful direct dialogues in the history of philosophy, the dialogue between Husserl and his former assistant Heidegger. The last of ""The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology"" only appeared posthumously, in 1954. ‎

‎Formale und transzendentale Logik. Versuch einer Kritik der logischen Vernunft. Sonderabdruck aus: ""Jahrbuch für Philosophie und phänomenologische Forschung"", Bd. X. Herausgegeben von E. Husserl, Freiburg I. Br. - [THE FINAL CONCEPTION OF LOGIC]‎

‎Halle, Niemeyer, 1929. 4to. Orig. full cloth w. gilt leather title-label to spine. A crisp, clean and near mint copy w. only very minor spotting to spine. XI, (1), 298 pp. Ex-library plate to inside of front board.‎

‎First edition of Husserl's seminal work, which contains his philosophy of logic and mathematics. This important work entitled ""Formal and Transcendental Logic"" with the sub-title ""An Attempted Critique of the Logic Reason"" provides us with Husserl's final conception of logic. Though now famous as the father of phenomenology, Husserl was initially a student of mathematics, and in his two first works ""Über den Begriff der Zahl"" and ""Philosophie der Aritmetik"", his early philosophy is developed on the basis of mathematics with the aim to provide a sound foundation for mathematics by combining it with philosophy and psychology. His main work from 1900-1901, Logische Untersuchungen"", probably one of the two most important and influential philosophical works of the 20th century, Husserl establishes a philosophy that asks the question of the essence of the matter of perception as opposed to the form of perception, as well as the meaning of the difference between formal or pure and material laws, truths and determinations, -all based on his strong interest in the relationship between the formalities of arithmetic and of logic.However, it is in his ""Formal and Transcendental Logic"" that Husserl most thoroughly introduces us to the formal character of logic and formulates his final conception of it. According to Husserl, logic is formal, because it is nothing more than the development of pure reason, and pure reason is a formal concept. As such, logic for Husserl becomes the self-interpretation of pure reason (die Selbstauslegung der reinen Vernunft) which is, again, a formal activity. Husserl also determines that there are two formal ways of conceiving logic, one being a tool for judging sentences true or false, and another, which includes knowledge.And so, this work not only provides us with a genetic-phenomenological investigation of philosophy and of the basis of logic, but it also provides us with an insight into the entire inner systematic structure of late Husserlian thought. ‎

‎The scarce first edition, off-print, of Husserl's second main work, his seminal ""Ideas"", which constitutes the founding text of Constitutive Phenomenology and the work, in which Husserl introduces his groundbreaking notion of ""epoché"". It was due to this work that he was able to secure himself the position as Professor in Freiburg (from 1916-1928).Although the work is called ""Ideen I"", there is no doubt as to its status as a separate work. Husserl did not publish his Ideen II and III in his lifetime, and they were only published posthumously, both in 1952. They have had none of the impact that the ""Ideen I"" had, and they are considered to be works in their own right too, although much less interesting.When Husserl published his ""Logical Investigations"" in 1900-1901, he changed the face of philosophy and founded the new philosophy of the 20th century: Phenomenology. In the Logical Investigations, Husserl began by attacking Psychologism and then went on to introduce his new philosophical method, which only then saw the light of day, and which only becomes fully developed later on. In 1900-01 he asks the question of the essence of the matter of perception as opposed to the form of perception. In his ""Ideen"", he extends his scope to include philosophy of the natural sciences, and he reflects thoroughly on the method of transcendental phenomenological epohé and reduction. He thus takes a new turn on conscious life and the pre-given status of it. This can no longer be accepted as something that exists in the world as the final guarantee for the world and the positive sciences of it. We must distinguish between the act of consciousness and the phenomena at which it is directed, in order to study the very structure of consciousness. All assumptions about the existence of the external world must be suspended, in order to achieve knowledge of the essences. It is this procedure that Husserl calls ""epoché"", and the constitutive phenomenology, which is founded in this work, is something that comes to characterize the rest of Husserl's works.Husserl is now famous as the father of phenomenology, and he decisively influenced the likes of Heidegger, Sartre, Carnap, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Ricoeur, Derrida etc. etc.‎

‎The uncommon second edition (Zweite Auflage) of Husserl's main work, one of the most important philosophical works of the 20th century. The ""Logical Investigations"" fundamentally changed philosophy and invoked the new philosophical era of the 20th century, -with this work Husserl founds phenomenology. Together with Heidegger's ""Sein und Zeit"" this must be considered the most important work of modern philosophy. The work was originally published 1900-1901, and the first edition is very difficult to come by. The second edition, which is enlarged and revised, is also not common.Husserl opens this fundamental work by attacking psychologism, and he then introduces his brand new philosophical method, which he had still by then not fully developed, but which came to influence all philosophy ever since -Phenomenology! Husserl himself calls this a ""Work of Breakthrough"" (see his preface to the second edition).In short, psychologism taught that logic itself was not an independent discipline, but a part of psychology, and it is this notion that Husserl gives its final blow in his logical investigations, -far more definitely than Frege had tried to some years earlier. Husserl now establishes a philosophy that asks the question of the essence of the matter of perception as opposed to the form of perception, as well as the meaning of the difference between formal or pure and material laws, truths and determinations, -all based on his strong interest in the relationship between the formalities of arithmetic and of logic. The work is the starting point for mereology, the formal first order theory of wholes and their parts. Mereology is both an application of predicate logic and a branch of formal ontology.Husserl is now famous as the father of phenomenology, and he decisively influenced the likes of Heidegger, Sartre, Carnap, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Ricoeur, Derrida etc. etc. ‎

Husserl himself calls this a ""Work of Breakthrough"" (see his preface to the second edition).In short, psychologism taught that logic itself was not an independent discipline, but a part of psychology, and it is this notion that Husserl gives its final blow in his logical investigations, -far more definitely than Frege had tried to some years earlier. Husserl now establishes a philosophy that asks the question of the essence of the matter of perception as opposed to the form of perception, as well as the meaning of the difference between formal or pure and material laws, truths and determinations, -all based on his strong interest in the relationship between the formalities of arithmetic and of logic. The work is the starting point for mereology, the formal first order theory of wholes and their parts. Mereology is both an application of predicate logic and a branch of formal ontology.Husserl is now famous as the father of phenomenology, and he decisively influenced the likes of Heidegger, Sartre, Carnap, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Ricoeur, Derrida etc. etc. ‎

‎The important first edition, off-print, of Husserl's ""Lectures on the phenomenology of internal time consciousness"", which was published by Heidegger, and in which Husserl sets out to investigate the constitution in time of that which has taken place but which is no longer present. He investigates ""Phenomenological time"" and tries to determine the phenomenological conceptions for describing a moment that has passed.These lectures that make up this publication are some of Husserl's most important lectures. When Husserl was appointed the chair of philosophy at the University of Freiburg after Heinrich Rickert, Heidegger became his assistant, and it was due to his editorial work that these influential lectures were published.""Das durchgehende Thema der vorliegenden Untersuchung ist die zeitliche Konstitution eines reinen Empfindungsdatums und die einer solchen Konstitution zugrunde liegende Selbstkonstitution der ""phänomenologischen Zeit"". Entscheidend wird dabei die Herausstellung des intentionalen Characters des Zeitbewusstseins und die wachsende grundsätzliche Klärung der I n t e n t i o n a l i t ä t überhaupt. Das allein macht schon, von dem besonderen Inhalt der einzelnen Analysen abgesehen, die folgende Studien zu einer unentbehrlichen Ergänzung der in den ""Logischen Untersuchungen"" zum erstenmal aufgenommenen grundsätzlichen Erhellung der Intentionalität. Auch heute noch ist dieser Ausdruck kein Losungswort, sondern der Titel eines zentralen P r o b l e m s."" (Martin Heidegger's Preface, p. (367) ).This publication unites the two greatest continental philosophers of the 20th century, the father of Phenomenology, Edmund Husserl, and the author of the main philosophical work of the 20th century, ""Sein und Zeit"", which appeared the year before, in 1927, Martin Heidegger. ‎

‎Fourth edition. Edmund Husserl is famous for his contributions to modern phenomenology. This groundbreaking work was the first of Husserl’s posthumous works devoted to the genealogy of logic.""In his investigations into the origin of the predicative judgement presented in EXPERIENCE and JUDGEMENT, Edmund Husserl makes an important distinction between objective self-evidence and the self-evidence of judgement. Husserl uses the distinction as a basis upon which to establish the further distinction of the prepredicative level of experience from the predicative level of experience.""

‎La phénoménologie d’Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) vise à saisir non pas les choses dans le monde, mais la manière dont les choses nous sont données par la conscience elle-même qui en constitue le sens en tant que phénomènes. La phénoménologie est un des courants majeurs de la philosophie contemporaine et les Idées directrices la matrice de l’existentialisme français — celui d’un Sartre évidemment, mais surtout de la pensée de Merleau-Ponty, sans oublier Levinas, Ricœur et Henry qui tous se déterminent par rapport à Husserl. Paul Ricoeur constate que ce livre est difficilement compréhensible en lui-même parce qu'il s'inscrit dans un ensemble de trois volumes dont Ideen II et Ideen III.
