First edition, 17th printing in the original publishers hardcover, with frontispiece photo. Otto Weininger was a homosexual Jewish philosopher who hated women, Jews and his own homosexuality. In Vienna in 1903, shortly after converting to Christianity, he killed himself at the age of 23 in the room where Beethoven died. "The strange and troubled works by Otto Weininger’s had a considerable impact on the work of others in the day, most notably on the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Born in 1880, Weininger was more celebrated in his death than in his work. On 4 October 1903 he committed suicide. His death prompted a romantic attitude to suicide in the young Viennese men of his generation. His work Sex and Character had been published that year, and, unlike his death, it had not been well-received. Claiming that contemporary society was in a state of decay, his argument revolved around the polarization of masculine and feminine qualities. All positive achievements were associated with the masculine, all destructive ideas with the feminine. The Aryan race were equated with the masculine, and thus with the positive aspects of contemporary society; the Jewish race was characterized by the feminine, and thus associated with the negative. His death came to be seen as the logical outcome of these ideas, for he was both a Jew and a homosexual (the latter being equatable in Weininger’s terms with a ‘feminized man’)"
