Bøger af Eduard Von Hartmann

""Philosophy of the Unconscious"" is a groundbreaking work by Eduard von Hartmann, a German philosopher and author. The book, which is divided into two volumes, explores the concept of the unconscious mind and its role in human behavior and thought.In Volume 1, Hartmann delves into the history of philosophy and psychology, examining the works of thinkers such as Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant. He argues that the unconscious mind is a crucial component of human consciousness, and that it plays a major role in shaping our perceptions, emotions, and actions.Hartmann's ideas were revolutionary for their time, and his work influenced the development of psychoanalysis and other fields of psychology. His insights into the workings of the unconscious mind continue to be relevant today, and his book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of the mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Eduard von Hartmann (1842-1906) had expected to follow his father's military career, but an injury forced him to reassess his ambitions. Torn between music and philosophy, he settled on the latter and in 1869 published his first book, The Philosophy of the Unconscious, which proved a great success. Published in 1885 as the period saw an enormous rise in the popularity of spiritualism, this work attempts to give psychological explanations for all occult phenomena, including subjective delusions as well as 'objective' physical manifestations, without resorting to hypotheses of ghosts, demons or trickery. C. C. Massey, a leading theosophist and translator of the work, wrote, 'Now for the first time, a man of commanding intellectual position has dealt fairly by us as an opponent.' This work will appeal to anyone with an interest in the growth of spiritualism and the philosophical and metaphysical debates of the nineteenth century.
