SCHOPENHAUER, Arthur.

Parerga und Paralipomena: kleine philosophische Schriften (Asides and Left-Overs: a small philosophphical writing).

Berlin: A. W. Hayn, 1851. FIRST EDITION Volume 1: Original front wrap + TP + 1 leaf (2 pp.) = Vorwort + 1 leaf = Inhalt + half-title + [3]-465 + [466] = Druchfehler + original rear wrap; Volume 2: Original front wrap + TP + [III]-IV = Inhalt + half-title + [3]-531 + original rear wrap; Octavo. This work, which was published in an edition of only 750 copies, is a significant supplement to The World as Will and Idea. As a result of this book, especially the Aphorisms of Wisdom, Schopenhauer finally gained popularity in Germany as a philosopher. The contents include: Fragments on the History of Philosophy, On Academic Philosophy, On Visions and Related Matters, On Logic and Dialectic, On the Philosophy of Science and Nature, On Suicide, On Women, and others. Mid-20th Century (?) half-leather bindings with marbled boards. Spines with gilt divided compartments and a gilt design in each compartment. Titles also gilt with the title and author on a red field and the volume number on a dark green field. This is an uncut copy. Front wrap of volume 1 has been expertly repaired in the lower right corner (not effecting text). On the upper edge of both front wraps, a former owner's name has been erased. Otherwise, this is a clean, fresh and bright copy with the original wraps bound in. Overall, a very lovely and desireable copy. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
