II missing part of lower spine. W. ownership signature Carnap the author's name partly erased and library marking that of Carnap on front wrappers. 44 1; 67 2 pp. One plate and several text-illustrations to volume II. � First edition presentation-copy for Rudolf Carnap of this overlooked but in its time important work on the question of the telos or final aim of physics and biology. The first volume is inscribed "A Monsieur Rudolf Carnap/ Hommage de/ Georges Matisse" on front free end-paper and both volumes carry the signature of Carnap in pencil on front wrappers. <br><br>Although now largely forgotten Georges Matisse 1874-1961 was a prominent thinker and a remarkable scholar who was considered important and influential in his own time. He contributed with several publications to the fields of science and philosophy and all of them are considered solid and interesting. His most famous works consist in the thee-volume cycle "La philosophie de la nature" 1938 "Le Rameau vivant du monde" 1947-49 and "L'Incoherence universelle" 1953-56 all published by the Presses Universitaires de France. The present work is thus published before what can be considered his actual breakthrough and represents us with thoughts very much in vogue at the time.<br><br>As the title indicates the present work discusses the question of the motion of the appearances of nature towards their final aim. "L'explication des ph�nom�nes naturels par l'id�e de causes finales qui les dirigent est fr�quemment adoptee encore." Vol. I Introduction.The first part of the work demonstrates that certain general principles do not apply to all appearances or that these principles contain something totally different than that which the non-physic could expect. "Malheureusement Presque tous ceux qui emploient le langage t�l�ologique pour conter les �v�nements croient que la finalit� constitue une explication scientifiquement valuable c'est-�-dire qui precise les conditions necessaries et suffisantes de gen�se du phenomena." Vol. I Introduction.<br><br>The second part deals with the appearances of the living nature. Matisse tries to show that neither the way that the organisms are built nor the functions of the organs can be explained as striving towards an aim. This is explained among other things by the fact that many developments in nature lead not to the perseverance of the individual or the species but on the contrary to the death of it.<br><br>The work evoked somewhat of an interest in the field of philosophy of science and was viewed as a valuable contribution to the answering of questions that occupy a position on the border of philosophy and science. In his own time Matisse was considered important and influential within this field. He attended the famous "Congr�s International de Philosophie Scientifique" in Paris in 1935 which was organized primarily by Carnap.<br>The present work was written shortly after this congress and published shortly before the first part of his main work. Carnap seems to have read the introduction in which there are a few pencil-underlinings and he has probably been more interested in the general thesis against teleology and preformation as a scientifically valuable explanation of the phenomena of nature than in the more thorough explanation of his ideas.<br><br>Matisse graduated in biophysics in 1918 in Paris but early on he became interested in mathematics physics and epistemology the three fields of which are united in this interesting treatise. unknown‎

‎Apollinaire.‎

‎Paris: Raisons d'Être 1952. Matisse and Rouveyre's homage to Apollinaire Folio. Original illustrated wrappers gatherings loose as issued. With the glassine. Housed in publisher's chemise and blue slipcase. Aquatint frontispiece 6 full page and 1 smaller lithographic portraits decorative initials wrappers and chemise by Henri Matisse. Wrappers lightly toned faint offsetting chemise boards a little bowed and rubbed some wear to slipcase extremities rubbed head and foot of fore edge just starting a very good copy indeed. First edition thus first printing number 233 of 300 on vélin d'arches from a total edition of 350 with the chemise and slipcase in unusually nice condition. The friendship between the caricaturist and writer André Rouveyre 1879-1962 and the artist Henri Matisse 1869-1954 left a trail of art works and a correspondence of over 1 100 letters. They met at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts Paris in 1898. After losing touch for a while the two friends later reunited and exchanged daily correspondence as they both lived in the South of France where they had fled the World Wars. The present work is an homage to their mutual friend the writer and poet Guillaume Apollinaire 1880-1918 who famously coined the term "calligram" being a contraction of "calligraphy" and "ideogram" that is text written in a shape related to its contents rather than linearly.

From Wikipedia: "The Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence Chapel of the Rosary often referred to as the Matisse Chapel or the Vence Chapel is a small chapel built for Dominican sisters in the town of Vence on the French Riviera.1 It was built and decorated between 1949 and 1951 under a plan devised by Henri Matisse.2 It houses a number of Matisse originals and was regarded by Matisse himself as his "masterpiece". While the simple white exterior has drawn mixed reviews from casual observers many regard it as one of the great religious structures of the 20th century." Illustrated with black and white.
