Kjøbenhavn: C.A. Reitzel, 1843. First edition. Very Good +. First Edition of Kierkegaards RepetitionKIERKEGAARD, Soren. Gjentagelsen. Et forføg i den experimenterende Psychologi auf Constantin Constantius. (Repetition. An Essay in Experimental Psychology). C.A. Reitzel, Kjøbenhavn, 1843. 1 blank leaf + TP + [3]-157 + 1 blank leaf, 12mo. First Edition (Himmelstrup 53)."A pseudonymous aesthetic work, published on the same day as Fear and Trembling. Lowrie viewed 'repetition' as the most important and most puzzling term in Kierkegaard's vocabulary. It is associated with natural repetition, with the young lover's futile efforts to repeat particular experiences, and with the stories of Abraham, who receives his son back, and of Job, who receives everything back. But as Lowrie notes, for Kierkegaard, such physical repetition matters only insofar as it may lead to an intuition of repetition as a religious category, 'a movement in virtue of the absurd' through which the individual achieves a second,… Read More

Leipzig: C.G. Naumann, 1889. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good +. Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker (That which does not kill me, makes me stronger) NIETZSCHE, Friederich. Götzen-Dämmerung (Twilight of the Idols). C.G. Naumann, Leipzig, 1889. TP + 3 leaves + [1] 144, Octavo. First Edition (Schaberg 56). Gotzen-Dammerung includes some of Nietzsches most direct and scathing attacks on many decadent idols within the history of philosophy. In classic Nietzsche style, he probes the psychological landscapes of these declining types whose thinking originates in a place of weakness rather than strength. Many identify Gotzen-Dammerung as both a summary and introduction to Nietzsches overall philosophy. Nietzsche wrote The Twilight of the Idols (originally entitled "Mussiggang eines Psychologen" or "A Psychologist at Leisure") between the end of June and September, 1888, and sent the manuscript to Naumann in early September, with his final additions to the text being sent October 4th. Naumann… Read More

Leipzig: Naumann, 1893. Second Edition. Wraps. Very good. Second Edition of NietzscheÂ’s Twilight of the Idols in Original Printed Wraps NIETZSCHE, Friedrich, Götzen-Dämmerung (Twilight of the Idols) Naumann, Leipzig, [1893]. Half title + TP + 1 leaf = Inhalt + [I]-II = Vorwort + [1]-116. Second Edition (Krummel, XVIII a, p. 120). Nietzsche began to write Twilight of the Idols at the end of June of 1888 and was finished by early September—another lightning-quick production that he claimed to have been the "work of so few days that I am hesitant to mention exactly how many." His hesitancy becomes even more understandable when one remembers that part of July was devoted to the preparation of the final typescript of The Case of Wagner and that during August he produced two "Postscripts" and the "Epilogue" and then proofed the entire work. In the final analysis—when the book was finally completed—Nietzsche bragged to Gast that "I could hardly have used ten days more efficiently for it certainly… Read More
