Nietzscheana - Sammlung Dite

Philosophie und Soziologie – Erste Ausgabe des zweiten Teils von Nietzsches "Betrachtungen". - Schaberg 25a. - Schaberg, All Things Nietzsche, Kat. 16, S. 10-16. - Slg. Borst 3194. - Jacobi, S. 51. - Volpi, S. 758f. - WNB 352. - Wilpert-Gühring 4. - Zimmermann 22. - Zweite Schrift eines von Nietzsche ursprünglich auf 13 Texte angelegten Publikationsprojektes zu sozialen, philosophischen, religiösen und wirtschaftlichen Fragen der Zeit, formuliert als Angriff auf die positivistische deutsche Geschichtswissenschaft seiner Zeit. "In contrast, Nietzsche argued that historical knowledge is valuable only when it has a positive effect on human beings' sense of life." (Schaberg, S. 14) - 1000 Exemplare der Erstausgabe wurden von C. G. Naumann in Leipzig für Fritzsch gedruckt. Noch nach mehreren Jahren waren deren nur 222 verkauft. Die Restauflage wurde im Zuge verschiedener Konkurse von Fritzsch und Nietzsche's zweitem Verleger Schmeitzner jeweils von diesen und Naumann ver- bzw. (wieder)gekauft und als Titelauflage (mit überklebter Verlagsangabe, Verlegerstempel oder neuem Titelblatt) vertrieben, weshalb nur rund ein Viertel der Auflage mit dem ursprünglichen, unveränderten Titelblatt, wie hier vorhanden, in Umlauf gelangte. - Schnitt gering staubig, die Ecken etwas aufgewellt, einige wenige Blätter stockfleckig, durchgehend mit der papierbedingt typischen leichten Bräunung, einige Marginalien mit Bleistift, insgesamt gut erhaltenes Exemplar im größtenteils erhaltenen Originalumschlag.

Philosophy and Sociology – First edition, first printing of the second part of Nietzsche's "Betrachtungen". Bound in a slightly later half-cloth with the original green boards mounted on light cardboard, featuring a typographic title on the front and publisher's advertisements on the rear cover (spine slightly bleached, with minimal wear to the bords at the corners and edges, and minimal shelf-wear along the edges and soiling). - For references see above. - The second work in a publication project originally planned by Nietzsche to comprise 13 texts on the social, philosophical, religious and economic issues of the time, formulated as an attack on the positivist German historiography of his day. "In contrast, Nietzsche argued that historical knowledge is valuable only when it has a positive effect on human beings' sense of life." (Schaberg, p. 14) - 1,000 copies of the first were printed by C. G. Naumann in Leipzig on behalf of Fritzsch. Even after several years, only 222 of these had been sold. The remainder was sold and/or repurchased by Fritzsch and Nietzsche's second publisher Schmeitzner following their respective bankruptcies and finally by Naumann, and distributed by them as reissued editions (with the publisher's details covered by a new label, with the actual publisher's stamp or with new a title page), which is why only the fourth part of the print run entered circulation with Fritzsch's original, unaltered title page, like present. - Edges slightly dusty, corners slightly dog-eared, a few leaves with tiny foxing, with slight browning typical for this edition throughout, some marginal notes in pencil, overall in solid, collectable condition with the major part the original publisher's wrappers present.
