Stuttgart, 1837. 8vo. Nice contemporary brown half calf with gilt lettering to spine. A bit of wear to upper capital. Brownspotting due to the paper quality. VIII, 230, (1) pp. The uncommon first edition of the important and controversial Heglian philosopher’s Habilitation work. Von Vischer (1807-1887) was a literary critic and aesthetic philosopher primarily famous for his efforts to create a theoretical basis for literary criticism, but also for his controversial ideas and outspokenness. Having been elected full professor at Tübingen in 1845, Vischer gave a candid lecture, in which he admitted to being a Pantheist. This caused quite a scandal and resulted in him receiving a two-year teaching ban. In 1848, he took part in the March Revolution and entered Frankfurt Parliament as a member of parliament for the Democratic Left, as a moderate left-winger. His two-volume collection of political essays Kritische Gänge (1844) was placed on the Index. “Vischer’s theories of aesthetics, based on ideas of G.W.F. Hegel, began to develop while he was teaching at the University of Tübingen, where he had studied. He became a professor at Tübingen in 1844 but was suspended for two years because of an outspokenly liberal inaugural address... In 1855 he became professor at Zürich, but he returned to Tübingen in 1866.
