SYSTEM DER WISSENSCHAFT. Ein philosophisches Encheiridion.

First edition of this rare treatise about the methodology of science by Hegelian philosopher Karl Rosenkranz. – Contents, Author: Karl Rosenkranz (1805-79) was one of the core protagonists of moderate Hegelianism in his times and Hegel's only contemporary biographer (1844). In »System of Science« Rosenkranz elaborates his methodology of science, particularly influential for Italian philosophers of the 19th ct. (Vera, Mariano, del Zio) as well as for William Torrey and the »St. Louis School of Thought« in the U.S. The rear wrapper contains a list with Rosenkranz' works published by Königsberg publisher Bornträger. – Condition. Binding skilfully renewed, the original grey wrappers are bound in at the end of the volume; front wrapper with fault, paper occasionally with slight foxing, otherwise well preserved. – Rarity: Though well represented at auctions with his other works (e.g. the seminal »Ästhetik des Häßlichen« (1853) this book by Rosenkranz is particularly hard to find in trade and at auctions. As of Dec. 8th 2022 JBP/ JAP/APO and RBH show only one single auction result at all (1965). – Reference: Butzlaff, Joachim: „Rosenkranz, Johann Karl Friedrich“: NDB, on-line.
