Otto Weininger Libri

Che cosa vuol dire "maschio"? Che cosa vuol dire "femmina"? Su questa essenziale dicotomia del genere umano ancora oggi si discute, si avanzano teorie, si fanno rivendicazioni. Quasi un secolo fa, un austriaco poco più che ventenne pubblicò un saggio che cerca di dare una risposta essenziale a queste domande. Un'opera che nel corso di tutti questi anni è stata osannata e condannata, accettata e respinta, ma che costituisce comunque una pietra miliare nella cultura dell'Occidente, soprattutto oggi che non vi è una maggiore chiarezza sull'argomento.

His book is an outcome of an exceptionally wide and rich experience. He observes very sensitively and shows how his understanding of unconscious phantasy can throw light on most Diverse activities and relationships.-Hanna Segal, from her foreword

Weininger (1880-1903) is generally considered the epitome of fin de siècle Vienna's decadence, & a huge influence on many cretinous minds of his age. Steven Burns (philosophy, Dalhousie Univ.) translates his posthumous collection of essays, On Last Things, into English for the first time, arguing that it reveals much of the milieu that is of interest to history, the arts, criticism, sociology & psychology; is important to academic philosophers because Ludwig Wittgenstein read it; & has merit in its own right as bearing precocious genius & intense moral commitment. He contributes an introduction & annotations. --Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Professor Weininger elegantly reintroduces Kleinian thinking in a way that removes many of the stigmata that have impeded the receptivity to her work. Further more, he has unpacked and clarified some of her most recondite concepts such as the 'combined parental couple' and the early developmental aspects of the oedipal complex for girl as for boys.-from the foreword by James S. Grotstein
