‎Cambridge University Press / Editions de la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, 1979. Format : 23/16. Pages : XII + 283. Envoi de l'auteur Bon état‎

‎Dans l'archipel des Moluques, les îles Kei sont encore mal connues. A l'extrémité sud-ouest du groupe se trouve Tanebar-Evav, une petite île où vit une société de moins de mille personnes. Ici comme dans d'autres régions d'Indonésie, la maison est l'unité sociale fondamentale, le foyer et l'acteur de toutes les relations. Les maisons sont parties prenantes et donnantes dans tous les événements sociaux: mariages, funérailles, rituels saisonniers et occasionnels, et s'entraident en toute chose. Entourant les maisons, l'espace du village est fortement structuré, avec ses murs d'enceinte, ses portes, ses places, ses lieux marqués par les mythes des origines. Il est de plus imprégné de deux conceptions distinctes et complémentaires de la société, vue d'un côté dans ses lois internes et sa particularité - haratut -, de l'autre dans sa relation au dehors et à la loi universelle - lór. Cette double référence articule tous les niveaux de l'organisation sociale qui combine dans une structure complexe des traits relatifs à la filiation et à l'aînesse d'une part, à l'alliance asymétrique et à la relation frère-soeur de l'autre. Dans ce système, les maisons constituent les unités concrètes d'un ordre immédiat et permanent au nom duquel se maintient une société attachée à son identité, mais animée aussi par une très ancienne et profonde relation au monde et à l'histoire.‎

‎Die Cultur der Renaissance in Italien. - [FOUNDING THE HISTORICAL STUDY OF THE RENAISSANCE - PMM 347]‎

‎Basel, 1860. 8vo. A little later green half cloth with a recent printed paper title-label to spine. Brownspotting to some leaves. Some underlinings and maginal annotations, all in pencil. Near contemporary annotations/description pasted on to verso of dedication-leaf. (4), 576 pp.‎

‎The scarce first edition of Burckhardt's main work, the groundbreaking work on the culture of the Renaissance, which helped found the historical study of this previously much overlooked era. "" ""The most penetrating and subtle treatise on the history of civilization"", in Lord Acton's words, ""a mere essay"", as Burckhardt himself called it, ""The Civilization of the Renaissance in Ittaly"" has, for more than a century, determined the general conception of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Italy."" (PMM p. 210)This classic of Renaissance historiography is of the greatest importance to the development of the history of the Renaissance and of history of art and culture in general. More specifically, Burckhardt here establishes the fact that the Renaissance came first in developing the human individuality to the highest degree. He places the earliest signs of ""the modern European Spirit"" in Florence, which was a great contributing factor to the comprehension of this city as representing one of the highlights of European culture.The Swiss historian of art and culture, Jacob Chrisoph Burckhardt (1818-1897), contributed seminally to the historiography of these two fields. He is considered the discoverer of the Renaissance, and with his main work he founded the study of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Italy and thereby the historical study of the Renaissance, the society of which he dealt with all aspects of. In general, Burckhardt's works all constitute an original historical approach to the study of art, culture, social institutions etc. As a highly respected scholar of Greek civilization, Burckhardt, with his original historiographical approach, was highly admired by Nietzsche, who also attended his lectures. The two kept in contact and corresponded frequently. Like Nietzsche, Burckhardt was a great admirer of Schopenhauer, and he greatly opposed the Hegelian interpretations of history.""... as in the case of other great historians such as Gibbon, Ranke, Macaulay, no criticism of details can detract from the powerful spell which Burckhardt's book has exercised upon such widely different writers as Ruskin, Nietzsche and Gobineau, as well as upon innumerable lovers of the most magnificent period of European history.""

‎"DERRIDA, JACQUES.‎

‎De la grammatologie. - [THE MAIN WORK OF DECONSTRUCTION]‎

‎(Paris), Minuet, 1967. 8vo. Original wrappers. A bit of light wear to extremities, a few spots to back wrapper, and upper corner slightly bent, otherwise a nice and clean copy. 445, (3) pp.‎

‎First edition (20 Septembre, 1967, numéro 630) of Derrida's seminal main work, the foundational text for deconstructive criticism.1967 marks a turning point in the history of modern philosophy, constituting the birth of ""Deconstruction"". In this one year, Derrida publishes all of his three break-through books, ""De la grammatologie"", ""L'écriture et la difference"" and ""La Voix et le phenomene"", profoundly altering the course of modern thought. Although all three books are responsible for the introduction of Deconstruction, it is primarily ""De la Grammatologie"", Derrida's magnum opus, that has come to be associated with this groundbreaking concept.""Jacques Derrida's revolutionary theories about deconstruction, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and structuralism, first voiced in the 1960's, forever changed the face of European and American criticism. The ideas in ""De la grammatologie"" sparked lively debates in intellectual circles that included students of literature, philosophy, and the humanities, inspiring these students to ask questions of their disciplines that had previously been considered improper. Thirty years later, the immense influence of Derrida's work is still igniting controversy..."" (Review, Spivak's translation of Derrida's ""Of Grammatology"", 1997).Derrida's concern is to bring to light the binary schema that is hidden in all kinds of texts and ideas of culture. In the present text Derrida brilliantly reveals some of the principles of deconstruction, not through theoretical explication, but, rather, by demonstration, showing that the arguments promulgated by their subject-matter exceed and contradict the oppositional parameters in which they are situated. Put into other words, deconstruction seeks to expose, and then to subvert, the various binary oppositions that undergird our dominant ways of thinking.The ideas that Derrida here present have had an enormous impact on a number of the human sciences, including psychology, literary theory, cultural studies, linguistics, feminism, sociology and anthropology. Due to this work, a whole new world of problematic suppression and marginalisation has become apparent, making ""De la grammatologie"" one of the most important philosophical works of the later part of the 20th century. ""One of the major works in the development of contemporary criticism and philosophy"". (J. Hillis Miller, Yale University).‎

‎Scarce first edition - especially in this condition - of what is generally regarded as Durkheim's magnum opus, his groundbreaking study of totemism among the Australian aborigines, which led him to the foundational conclusion that religion is social, that the primary purpose of religion is to bind people together. Showing that society is the soul of religion, that society is the foundation of all religious belief, and that religion is what allows for a society to express its social unity ""The Elementary forms of religious Life"" furthermore explains the enduring relevance of religion throughout history. In this milestone work of sociology, Durkheim sets out to discover the enduring source of human social identity. To that aim, he investigates totemism among the Australian Aborigines, acknowledging that all religion has its origin in totemism. Totems are collective symbols that represent both a god and society. The collective thought, of which totemism is an early expression, is the basis of all religious thought and as such also of philosophy and modern science.The work came to have a profound effect on not only sociology and religion, but also on philosophy, psychology, and history of science, documenting how collective thought, through totemism and religious expression, enabled mankind to enter into a world of concepts and correspondence and to identity causes and relations. All philosophy and science ultimately rests on this collective thought, which allowed mankind to enter into a conceptual realm. ""The Elementary Forms has been applauded and debated by sociologists, anthropologists, ethnographers, philosophers, and theologians, and continues to speak to new generations about the intriguing origin and nature of religion and society."" (from the English langiuage translation).""The general conclusion of the book which the reader has before him is that religion is something eminently social. Religious representations are collective representations which express collective realities" the rites are a manner of acting which take rise in the midst of assembled groups and which are destined to excite, maintain, or recreate certain mental states in these groups. So if the categories are of religious origin, they ought to participate in this nature common to all religious facts" they should be social affairs and the product of collective thought. At least -- for in the actual condition of our knowledge of these matters, one should be careful to avoid all radical and exclusive statements -- it is allowable to suppose that they are rich in social elements."" (From ""The Elementary forms of religious Life"").‎

‎Burdigalae, Ex Typis Gounouilhou, 1892. 8vo. Bound with the scarce original printed wrappers in mathcing recent light greenish-grey boards with title to spine.- A few markings and spotting to wrappers and tiny paper-restorations to corners, A part from light pencil-annotations, a very fine and clean copy. 74, (2) pp.‎

‎The scarce first edition of Durkheim's earliest published work, his subsidiary Latin thesis on Montesquieu, which anticipates many of his most important theories and contains important observations that are formative for his later work. As such, the present work constitutes his earliest exposition of sociology as a science.Emile Durkheim (1858-1917), the father of sociology, is credited with making sociology a science and established sociology as a recognized academic discipline. Together with Karl Marx and Max Weber he is considered the principal architect of modern social science. The present work, which serves as the companion to his ""The Division of Labour in Society"", printed the year after, in 1893, analyses Montesquieu's ""Spirit of Laws"" as a foundational work of modern sociology, explains how Montesquieu's distinctions define the conditions and boundaries of sociology and how the work is the first to establish the main principles of political science. One of Durkheim's major contributions lies in his insistence on taking the total society as his theoretical frame of reference, which is quite explicitly observed in the present analysis and explanation of Montesquieu.‎
