‎"LYOTARD, JEAN-FRANCOIS.‎

‎La Condition Postmoderne. Rapport sur le savoir. - [INTRODUCING ""POSTMODERNISM""]‎

‎(Paris), Minuet, (1979). 8vo. Original wrappers. Very minor soiling/sunning to wrappers and light underlinings to the first two pages. Otherwise a very nice, clean, and fresh copy. 109, (3) pp. + The Minuet advertisement leaf, dated September 1979, for the work laid in loose. Author's presentation inscription for Roger Parmentier to half-title, signed ""J-F Ly."".‎

‎First edition, presentation-copy for the famous theologian Roger Parmentier, of the groundbreaking work that introduced the term ""post-modernism"" and fundamentally altered the interpretation and course of (post-)modern philosophy. With this book, Lyotard set the agenda for the discussion of the postmodern, which began in the 1980'ies. Lyotard's main point is that modern society has become postmodern because man no longer believes that scientific and technological progress will lead to freedom, prosperity, and enlightenment for all. For postmodern man, doubt is the dominating factor. The term ""postmodernism"" was previously only used by art critics, but with ""The Postmodern Condition"", Lyotard introduced it in philosophy, with the following quotation: ""Simplifying to the extreme, I define postmodern as incredulity towards metanarratives"", altering our comprehension of this most recent period of philosophy. The influential French theologian and priest Roger Parmentier (1914-2008) was born in the region of Paris. Later he moved with his family to Constantine in Algeria where he became interested in Judaism. In 1941 he moved to Paris wher he studied theology at the Protestant faculty. He founded a group that famously fought against Nazism and antisemistism. After the liberation he took part in the creation of Meetings between Jews and Christians, paving the way for the Jewesh-Christian Friendship (""l'Amitié Judéo-Chrétienne""). He continued his religious-political path throughout his life, is known as an important 20th century-intellectual, and is famous for his many theological writings. ""The term ""postmodern"" came into the philosophical lexicon with the publication of Jean-François Lyotard's ""La Condition Postmoderne"" in 1979 (English: ""The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge"", 1984), where he employs Wittgenstein's model of language games (see Wittgenstein 1953) and concepts taken from speech act theory to account for what he calls a transformation of the game rules for science, art, and literature since the end of the nineteenth century. He describes his text as a combination of two very different language games, that of the philosopher and that of the expert. Where the expert knows what he knows and what he doesn't know, the philosopher knows neither, but poses questions. In light of this ambiguity, Lyotard states that his portrayal of the state of knowledge ""makes no claims to being original or even true,"" and that his hypotheses ""should not be accorded predictive value in relation to reality, but strategic value in relation to the questions raised"" (Lyotard 1984, 7). The book, then, is as much an experiment in the combination of language games as it is an objective ""report.""On Lyotard's account, the computer age has transformed knowledge into information, that is, coded messages within a system of transmission and communication. Analysis of this knowledge calls for a pragmatics of communication insofar as the phrasing of messages, their transmission and reception, must follow rules in order to be accepted by those who judge them. However, as Lyotard points out, the position of judge or legislator is also a position within a language game, and this raises the question of legitimation. As he insists, ""there is a strict interlinkage between the kind of language called science and the kind called ethics and politics"" (Lyotard 1984, 8), and this interlinkage constitutes the cultural perspective of the West. Science is therefore tightly interwoven with government and administration, especially in the information age, where enormous amounts of capital and large installations are needed for research.""

‎Dat. ""10.3.1942"". 1s. 4to. Skrevet på forlagets brevpapir. Brevet er en anmodning fra Dr. Knapp på vegne af en skoleklasse i Tyskland, som ønsker en autograf fra Knut Hamsun på et billede af ham. Brevet slutter således: ""Im allgemeinen suchen wir ja solche belästigungen Herrn/ Knut Hamsun möglichst fern zu halten, aber in diesem rührende/ Fall wollten wir doch eine Ausnahme machen./ Wir danken Herrn Knut Hamsun und Ihnen im voraus herzlich für/ die Erfüllung der kindlichen Bitte./ Mit verehrungsvoller Begrüssung und/ Heil Hitler!/ Ihr sehr ergebener/ Albert Langen - Georg Müller Derlay [stemplet]/ Dr. Knapp [håndskrevet]."" Efter de ca. 15 maskinskrevne linier følger fire håndskrevne linier i Dr. Knapps hånd, hvoraf fremgår, at der alligevel ikke sendes et billede med, som Knut Hamsun kan signere, men en stor plakat. (1p. 4to. Written on paper w. letterhead from the publisher. The letter is a request from Dr. Knapp on behalf of a school-class in Louise, Germany, who wish for an autograph by Knut Hamsun on a photograph. The letter ends: ""Im allgemeinen suchen wir ja solche belästigungen Herrn/ Knut Hamsun möglichst fern zu halten, aber in diesem rührende/ Fall wollten wir doch eine Ausnahme machen./ Wir danken Herrn Knut Hamsun und Ihnen im voraus herzlich für/ die Erfüllung der kindlichen Bitte./ Mit verehrungsvoller Begrüssung und/ Heil Hitler!/ Ihr sehr ergebener/ Albert Langen - Georg Müller Derlay [stamped]/ Dr. Knapp [handwritten]."" Following the ab. 15 machine-written lines is a four lines handwritten notice in the hand of Dr. Knapp, stating that a photograph of Knut Hamsun for him to sign has not been sent with the letter after all, but a large poster.‎

‎Meget interessant brev fra Nazitidens Tyskland, der både belyser, hvor vigtig Hamsun blev opfattet af tyskerne, og hvilken rolle Marie Hamsun har spillet i hendes mands forhold til nazisterne. Der er ingen tvivl om, at Knut Hamsun var velvilligt indstillet over for nazismen under krigen, men der er ligeledes heller ingen tvivl om, at hans syn på nazismen, eller det, han vidste om den, var noget mere nuanceret end hans kones. ""Sagt mere forenklet: Havde Hamsun oprindelig rakt Marie en tyskvenlig lillefinger, forvandlede hun den i disse år til en fremstrakt naziarm."" (Thorkild Hansen, Processen mod Hamsun, Bd. 2, pp. 76-77). Den aldrende Knut Hamsun var under krigen nærmest døv, og havde utroligt svært ved at følge med i, hvad der foregik i verden, da han ikke kunne høre radio. Han var således fuldstændig udleveret til sin kone og det, hun fortalte ham om, hvad der gik for sig i Tyskland. Marie meldte sig ind i NS og fastholdt sine nazistiske synspunkter til sin dødsdag, Knut tog kategorisk afstand fra nazismen, da det endelig gik op for ham, hvori dens sande karakter bestod. Han vedholdt ikke at have meldt sig ind i NS, og det er betegnende, at det er Marie, der står for stort set hele Hamsun-korrespondencen med nazisterne. Det er hende, der tager på adskillige propagandature i Tyskland i alle krigsårene, og det er hende, der tager rundt og læser op af Knuts bøger for nazisterne, ikke ham. Det er betegnende, at brevet er stilet til Marie og ikke Knut, når det nu er hans autograf, de ønsker, -den gamle mand var nok døv, men han kunne stadig læse, -kontakten gik altid gennem Marie, og det må nok siges at være hende, der sidder tilbage med en stor del af ansvaret for verdens opfattelse af, at den store digter bekendte sig fuldstændigt til nazismen. ""Nu fik hun [Marie] oprejsning for de mange ydmygelser. Hun havde endelig fået overtaget, hun havde ikke alene børnene bag sig, hun havde hele den tyske værnemagt i Norge! Hamsun beklagede sig til fru Stray over, at hun ""trak tyskerne til Nørholm""... Marie var ikke mere bare ""Norges første litterære dame"", hun var også blevet noget i kraft af sig selv... Hans rolle var udspillet. Katastrofen var indtruffet og kærligheden død... I stedet for den lydige selvopofrende hustru havde han fået en ond ånd, der bestemte alt og politiserede løs i hans navn."" (Thorkild Hansen, Processen mod Hamsun, Bd. 2, pp. 78-80). Gennem sin rolle som den store digters hustru, tilkæmpede Marie sig sin egen status, -tyskerne placerede hende atter i rampelyset og lod hende igen hylde af et bifaldende publikum.‎

Underneath the presentation-inscription a handwritten quotation from a letter from Sophie Oersted (born Oehlenschläger) (from Adam Oehlenschläger's Memoires) in cont. hand (probably that of Scharling). The presentation-inscription is for professor Carl Emil Scharling (1803-77), theologist, who was the brother of Oersted's daughter's (Karen) husband.Oersted is universally known for his discovery of Electro-Magnetism in 1820. Afterwards he went on to write a number of important philosophical works on natural philosophy and empiricism, of which ""Aanden i Naturen"" he himself considered his main work. The work is found printed on 2 sorts of paper, common- and vellum-paper. This copy is on vellum-paper. Both H.C. Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard admit to having been influenced by the writings of Oersted. ""He was an enthusiastic follower of the ""Naturphilosophie"" school in Germany, whose main object was the unification of physical forces, thus producing a monistic theory of the universe. It was to further this purpose that Oersted sought in actual phenomena the electro-magnetic identity of which he had already convinced himself on metaphysical grounds"" (Percy H. Muir in Printing and The Mind of Man).‎

He is the inventor of the famous artificial language ""Novial"", and his work ""Fonetik"" is considered a mile-stone of European linguistics.""Through a long life Otto Jespersen has offered valuable contributions to general phonetics and grammar and to our knowledge of English and Danish and other languages, thus being a worthy successor of the great Danish linguists of the last century (Rask, Thomsen, Verner, and others).

He was the first to systematically study the ancient Nordic languages and is the discoverer of the relations between the consonants in the Indo-European languages.

‎"RENAN, ERNEST.‎

‎Vie de Jésus. - [PMM 352 - THE HISTORICAL CHRIST - WITH ORIGINAL LETTER FROM RENAN]‎

‎Paris, Michel Lévy Frères, 1863. Lex 8vo. Bound uncut with the original printed wrappers in a very nice and elegant half morocco binding with five raised bands and gilt author and title to spine (Trinckvel). Wrappers a bit soiled, and a small repair to margin of front wrapper. Lower right corner of first two leaves repaired, far from afecting lettering. Otherwise a fine copy. Original handwritten and signed letter from Renan inserted between front end-papers. Withe the half-title (""Histoire des Origines du Christianisme. Livre premier""). (4), LIX, (1), 462 pp. + (1) leaf (colophon).‎

‎True first edition of this seminal classic on the life of Jesus, which caused an immediate scandal when it appeared. Rare with the original wrappers. Renan's masterpiece constitutes the first attempt to write a biography of Jesus the man and strongly puts forth the notion that the Bible too can be subject to historical investigation and critical scrutiny. The 1 full page original handwritten and signed (E. Renan) letter is dated August 1869 is about a certain Mr. Bambal, who, Renan writes, has left made a very good impression on him and has been a great help during his candidacee. He praises him as an intlligent man. Renan furthermore mentions a book that he wishes to give to the brother of the addressee of the letter. The work enraged the Roman Catholic Church but was an immediate success in most of Europe. ""In six months sixty thousand copies of the French edition had been sold and edition succeeded edition. Renan regarded the book as the first of a series on the ""Origins of Christianity"", which he continued with ""The Apostles"" (1866), ""Saint Paul"" (1869), ""The Anti-Christ"" (1873), ""The Gospels"" (1877), ""The Christian Church"" (1879) and ""Marcus Aurelius"" (1881) but none of these emulated the success of the ""Life of Jesus""... Immediate success was partly a ""succès de scandale"" but this would not have kept the book alive. It is Renan's approach to the subject and his beautiful prose that gave it lasting eminence."" (PMM 352). This groundbreaking work analyses the personality of the man Jesus, -a figure created by Renan out of his mind, but based on historical sources. ""It is a pastoral idyll with the central figure a gentle, albeit oracular visionary, his power to work miracles a part of his unique personality -the son of man, but not the Son of God... In this great work it seems clear that the audience he has found was the one he sought: the general reading public rather than the limited coterie of scholars"" and there is no doubt of the fact or the degree of his success."" (PMM 352). ""C'est le livre plus célèbre d'Ernest Renan (1823-1892) et le premier volume de l'Hisoire des origines du Christianisme""... on peut considérer cette ""Vie de Jésus"" comme une oeuvre de vulgarisation: l'auteur cherche à déterminer ce qui, au point de vue ""scientifique"", est de créance dans la vie du Nazaréen?"" (Laffont-Bompiani IV:681). Apart from causing a world-wide scandal, the work was also a world-wide success, and no matter how many harsh words can be said about the historical and religious contents of the work, there is no doubt about the fact that it influenced the destiny of Catholicism decisively and that it is a masterpiece of 19th century French literature. It is very elegantly written and is renowned for its description of the historical setting, charming descriptions of sceneries, its penetrating psychological analysis and its overall style and class. ""Il faut ajouter que la ""Vie de Jésus"" compte au nombre des livres les mieux écrits de son temps"" le charme de la peinture des paysages, le pittoresque géneralement exact des évocations historiques, l'analyse pénétrante de l'âme des personnages, des seductions du style enfin, n'ont pas été pour rien dans le succès universel de cette oeuvre."" (Laffont-Bompiani IV:681). Ernest Renan (1823-1892) was a French philologist, philosopher and historian. His father died when he was aged five, and his mother wanted him to become a priest. Until he was about 16 years old, he was trained by the Church, but due to his investigative and truth-seeking nature as well as his studies (e.g. Hebrew), he was in doubt as to the historical truth of the Scriptures, and with the help of his sister he chose his own path in life. ""He studied intensively the languages of the Bible and filled a number of minor academic positions, frequently encountering difficulties because of the heterodoxy and outspokenness of his religious opinions."" (Printing and the Mind of Man 352). In 1840 he began studying philosophy and later philology, in 1847 he took his degree as Agrégé de Philosophie and became master at the Lycée of Vendome. After having returned from a mission to Italy in the year 1850 where he gathered material for his historical-philosophical masterpiece, ""Averroës et l'Averroisme"", he was offered employment at the ""Bibliothèque Nationale"" (at the manuscript department). In 1861 he was chosen to become professor of Hebrew at the Collège de France, but because the emperor refused to ratify the appointment (inspired by the Clerical party), he was not established in the chair untill 1870. In 1878 he was elected for the Academy. Renan is considered a scholar of the greatest excellence and an impressive writer.‎
