LANGE, Friederich Albert.
Geschichte des Materialismus (History of Materialism).
Iserlohn: J. Baedeker, 1876. THIRD EDITION 1 blank leaf + half-title + leaf with portrait on verso + TP + Dedication page + [vii]-xviii + half-title + [3]-334 + half-title + TP + [v]-xiii + half-title + [1]-573 + 1 blank leaf, Octavo. "Lange's importance in philosophy rests mainly on his brilliantly written History of Materialism and Critique of Its Present Significance (1866). This work gave support to the opponents of materialism and helped to stimulate the revival of interest in Kant..." When it was first published it had a profound effect upon Nietzsche who initially considered it to be the "most significant philosophical work to be published in the last one hundred years" (letter to Hermann Mushache, November 1866, KGB I.2, p. 184). Beautifully preserved contemporary half-leather binding with marbled boards (overall with just a bit of wear). Spine with gilt decorations and gilt lettering. The inside front flyleaf has an almost full-page pencil sketch attached. It is quite accomplished and looks to be a tentative design for the owner's bookplate (Romund J. Talien?)-- dated 1918. Otherwise, a clean and handsome copy. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
