Description
Francofurti et Lipsiae 1737 Second edition, revised. Contemporary stiff vellum with title in manuscript on spine. . Quarto. Engraved plate of geometrical figures at rear. Title-page in black and red. New endpapers. A little soiling to text, but overall a very good, clean copy. Wolff (1679-1754) was a German rationalist philosopher, who lectured in physics, mathematics, and natural philosophy in Halle during the first two decades of the eighteenth century, but fell out of favor for holding impious views. He was removed from his chair in 1723, and did not return until 1740, at the accession of Frederick the Great. In the years between he taught at Marburg. Wolff's philosophy was a variation of Leibnitz's ideas, retaining the idea that philosophy was the science of the possible, divided into the theoretical and the practical. This viewpoint held until the ideas of Kant displaced them.
