About This Item
Frankfurt & Main: Leidinger, 1855. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. The Gospel of Materialism (PMM 338)
BUCHNER, Friedrich Karl Christian Ludwig, Kraft und Stoff (Force and Matter), Leidinger, Frankfurt & Main, 1855. 1 blank leaf + TP + 1 leaf = epigraphs + 1 leaf = Inhalt on recto with Berichtigung on verso + [vii] - xvi = Vorwort + 1 - 269 + 1 leaf = advertisements + 1 blank leaf, Small Octavo, First Edition. PMM 338
Berkeley denied the existence of matter. Buchner declared that nothing else existed . all the phenomena of the functioning of the human body were explicable on purely materialistic lines and it was only a question of time before this fact would be experimentally demonstrable. Buchner was not only one of the earliest, he was also the most uncompromising representative of this school. The thesis pursued in his Force and Matter is that thought is as much an emanation of the brain as bile is an emanation of the liver. The mind and the spirit are products of an animal organism in the same way as motion is a product of a steam-engine (PMM).
PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN 338
CONDITION: Very good or better in contemporary marbled boards. Handwritten label on spine, with some loss. Light edge wear to boards. Small name elegantly printed in contemporary ink to front pastedown. Clean pages throughout.
