The Adventures of Huckleberry Finnby Mark TwainISBN 3895082104 (3-89508-210-4)
Hardcover, Koenemann Verlagsgesellschaft

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'Book summary:A seminal work of American literature that still commands deep praise and elicits controversy, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is essential to the understanding of the American soul. The recent discovery of the first half of Twain's manuscript, long thought to be lost, made front-page news. And this unprecedented edition, which contains for the first time omitted episodes and other variations present in the first half of the handwritten manuscript, as well as facsimile reproductions of thirty manuscript pages, is indispensable to a fuller understanding of the novel. The changes, deletions and additions made in the first half of the manuscript indicate that Mark Twain frequently checked his impulse to write an even darker, more confrontational book than the one he finally published.

Anne FrankTagebuchby Anne Frank, Fassung Von Otto H. FrankISBN 3596152771 (3-596-15277-1)
Softcover, Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Anne FrankTagebuch'Book summary:Dieses lebendige, Einblick gewährende Tagebuch ist seit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung 1947 ein geliebter Klassiker und ein passendes Denkmal für den begabten jüdischen Teenager, der 1945 im Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen ums Leben kam. 1929 geboren, bekam Anne Frank zu ihrem 13. Geburtstag ein neues, unbeschriebenes Tagebuch geschenkt, nur wenige Wochen bevor sie und ihre Familie im von den Nazis besetzten Amsterdam untertauchen mußten. Ihre wunderbar detaillierten persönlichen Eintragungen zeichnen 25 anstrengende Monate klaustrophobischer, streitgeladener Intimität mit ihren Eltern, ihrer Schwester, einer zweiten Familie und einem älteren Zahnarzt nach, der wenig Toleranz für Annes Lebhaftigkeit zeigt. Der universelle Reiz des Tagebuchs beruht auf seiner fesselnden Mischung aus den schmuddeligen Besonderheiten des Lebens im Krieg (karge, schlechte Mahlzeiten; schäbige Kleider, aus denen man längst herausgewachsen ist, die aber nicht ersetzt werden können; die ständige Angst, entdeckt zu werden) und der offenherzigen Auseinandersetzung über Gefühle, die jedem Heranwachsenden bekannt sind: "Jeder kritisiert mich, niemand erkennt meine wahre Natur, wann werde ich endlich geliebt?" Aber Anne Frank war kein gewöhnlicher Teenager: Die späteren Eintragungen verraten einen für eine kaum 15jährige bemerkenswerten Sinn für Mitgefühl und spirituelle Tiefe. Ihr Tod verkörpert den Wahnsinn des Holocaust, aber für die Millionen, die Anne durch ihr Tagebuch kennengelernt haben, ist er auch ein sehr persönlicher Verlust. --Wendy Smith [via]

Softcover, Arden Shakespeare

› Find signed collectible books: 'Arden Shakespeare: The Merry Wives of Windsor'Book summary:Giorgio Melchiori is Emeritus Professor of English Literature at the Università Roma Tre in Italy. His major publications include Shakespeare's Dramatic Meditations: An Experiment in Criticism; editions of King Henry IV Part 1 and King Edward III for the New Cambridge Shakespeare; an edition of Sir Thomas More (with Vittorio Gabrieli) for the Revels series; Shakespeare's Garter Plays: 'King Edward III' to 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'; and Joyce's Feast of Languages. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and Life Trustee of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. He was awarded a CBE in 1990.The Merry Wives of Windsor, Shakespeare's only thoroughly English comedy, created an archetypal literary figure in the shape of the devious, irrepressible John Falstaff. This edition celebrates the play as a joyous exploration of language, but also places elements of its plot firmly in a continental, specifically Italian, tradition of romantic comedy.
In the introduction, Melchiori draws out the complexities of Merry Wives as a multi-plot play, taking a fresh and challenging look at both textual and dating issues and examining the play's comic elements and influences. The book includes tables that illustrate, scene by scene, the passage of time and the sequence of events. The narrative structure and the logistics of performing the play are outlined and analyzed, and a casting and doubling chart is included. The introduction fully explores play's extensive performance history, both dramatic and operatic. A facsimile of the first Quarto is included as an appendix, along with a list of abbreviations and references, a catalog of Shakespeares works and works partly by Shakespeare, and citations for the modern productions mentioned in the text, other collated editions of The Merry Wives of Windsor, and other related reading.The Arden Shakespeare has developed a reputation as the pre-eminent critical edition of Shakespeare for its exceptional scholarship, reflected in the thoroughness of each volume. An introduction comprehensively contextualizes the play, chronicling the history and culture that surrounded and influenced Shakespeare at the time of its writing and performance, and closely surveying critical approaches to the work. Detailed appendices address problems like dating and casting, and analyze the differing Quarto and Folio sources. A full commentary by one or more of the plays foremost contemporary scholars illuminates the text, glossing unfamiliar terms and drawing from an abundance of research and expertise to explain allusions and significant background information. Highly informative and accessible, Arden offers the fullest experience of Shakespeare available to a reader.[via]"This is a significant and substantive edition, in that nothing has been taken for granted, everything has been opened to reconsideration. The commentary is exceptionally detailed and attentive to questions of language and meaning."John Jowett, Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, Shakespeare QuarterlyMore editions of Arden Shakespeare: The Merry Wives of Windsor:

Softcover, Apress L. P.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Cascading Style Sheets: Seperating Content from Presentation'Book summary:Suitable for Web designers and developers alike, Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation provides an extremely approachable guide to some of the latest thinking on cascading style sheets for separating out content from presentation. Filled with useful advice on coping with the real difficulties of using CSS in the real world, this book fills a valuable niche with its compact format and savvy advice from the field.
The practical perspective on today's CSS and XHTML standards, as well as an excellent eye for Web design, helps to distinguish this text. After a tour of the evolution of today's Web standards, from HTML to XHTML to CSS used to format underlying content, the authors provide plenty of actual pages using style sheets. They work slowly to build a basic set of terms and techniques with style sheets. There's good coverage of all the options here, like inline and external CSS and most everything in between.
We liked the book's coverage of font and type from a design perspective, before digging in to using CSS to format text. (This approach helps show what you should aim for when you present Web pages built with CSS.) Extensive samples of a variety of Web page styles using multicolumn formats will get you started on your own Web pages, regardless of your site's requirements.
The book closes with several standout sections on coping with the admitted difficulties of getting CSS to work correctly on all of today's major browsers (including Netscape and Internet Explorer). The authors provide specific suggestions for overcoming known incompatibilities, as well as suggesting general techniques for troubleshooting and testing your site across different browsers. Final samples show off CSS and XHTML used for three case studies: a photo gallery, a personal log, and an online store.
With its practical suggestions for using CSS in real projects and a generally approachable style, this book offers a truly winning combination. It's perfect for anyone who wants to get a better knowledge of CSS used to build Web pages that will look good across a range of today's browsers. --Richard Dragan [via]

The Confessionsby St Augustine, Lucien Jerphagnon, Sophie AsticISBN 2070114120 (2-07-011412-0)
Hardcover, Gallimard
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Confessions'Book summary:Pierre d'angle de la théologie et de la métaphysique occidentale, la Cité de Dieu est, avec Les Confessions (également édité en Pléiade par l'équipe de Lucien Jerphagnon), le deuxième livre-clé de saint Augustin. Si le premier relatait les étapes de sa conversion à la foi chrétienne, le second offre, pour la première fois, une véritable théologie de l'histoire. Sa rédaction, qui prendra treize années, s'enracine dans un événement tragique : la chute de Rome. En 410, en effet, la Ville éternelle est pillée par les barbares d'Alaric. L'onde de choc est immense et saint Jérôme écrit: "l'univers s'écroule." Si rien n'a pu protéger Rome, pas même les reliques des martyrs et les tombeaux des saints, où trouver alors de la protection ? Partant de cette interrogation, saint Augustin élargit le débat. Il réfute d'abord, avec une ironie souvent cinglante, la thèse païenne d'un drame suscité par l'abandon des anciens cultes puis élabore sa doctrine des deux cités. Deux cités, deux citoyennetés spirituelles, qui renvoient à deux royaumes, celui de la terre (symbole de la gloire passagère) et celui de Dieu (symbole de la sagesse éternelle) et dont l'affrontement résume l'histoire des hommes. Un face-à-face qu'il définit dans la phrase célèbre : "Deux amours ont bâti deux cités : celle de la terre par l'amour de soi jusqu'au mépris de Dieu, celle du ciel par l'amour de Dieu jusqu'au mépris de soi." Des vingt-deux livres de ce traité sortira toute la philosophie de l'histoire jusqu'à Hegel et Nietzsche. --François Angelier [via]

Crime and Punishmentby Fyodor DostoyevskyISBN 3829009046 (3-8290-0904-6)
Hardcover, Konemann
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Crime and Punishment'Book summary:The talented Alex Jennings creates an atmosphere of gripping psychological tension and brings a variety of characters to life in this new audio edition of a crime classic. When the student Raskolnikov puts his philosophical theory to the ultimate test of murder, a tragic tale of suffering and redemption unfolds in the dismal setting of the slums of czarist, prerevolutionary St. Petersburg. While Jennings's adept repertoire of British accents works to demonstrate the varying classes of characters, it occasionally distracts the listener from the Russian setting. However, Dostoyevsky's rendering of 18th-century Russia emerges unscathed, bringing the dark pathos (such as wretched poverty and rampant suffering) to life.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Essais'Book summary:"Lecteur, je suis moi-même la matière de mon livre" : c'est ce surprenant aveu de subjectivité qui ouvre l'un des textes les plus modernes de la littérature française, quoique l'un des plus anciens. À la mort de son ami La Boétie, Montaigne décide en effet de prendre la plume pour perpétuer leurs discussions si fécondes. Sur ce mode autobiographique, tous les sujets seront abordés, de l'amitié à l'éducation, de la philosophie à la lecture, de la religion à la mort des hommes. En s'observant lui-même, Montaigne fait ainsi le tour de l'homme, proposant une réflexion essentielle sur sa place dans le monde et sur le champ d'action de la pensée humaine.
Au siècle de Rabelais, des poètes de la Pléiade et de l'humanisme européen, l'oeuvre de Montaigne reste une météorite inclassable, entre écriture personnelle et monument philosophique. Oeuvre d'un homme engagé dans son temps, les Essais allaient fonder toute une tradition d'écriture à la française, de Pascal à Malraux, de Rousseau à Camus. --Karla Manuele [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Frankenstein'Book summary:Frankenstein, loved by many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation. If you haven't read it recently, though, you may not remember the sweeping force of the prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multilayered doppelgänger themes of Mary Shelley's masterpiece. As fantasy writer Jane Yolen writes of this (the reviewer's favorite) edition, "The strong black and whites of the main text [illustrations] are dark and brooding, with unremitting shadows and stark contrasts. But the central conversation with the monster--who owes nothing to the overused movie image & but is rather the novel's charnel-house composite--is where [Barry] Moser's illustrations show their greatest power ... The viewer can all but smell the powerful stench of the monster's breath as its words spill out across the page. Strong book-making for one of the world's strongest and most remarkable books."

› Find signed collectible books: 'Hamlet'Book summary:Pour mener à bien sa vengeance sans éveiller les soupçons, Hamlet feint la folie. Lorsque le fantôme de son père lui révèle que Claudius, souverain actuel et frère du défunt roi, est le meurtrier de celui-ci, on s'attend à une stratégie ingénieuse, d'autant que le prince semble plein de courage, d'insolence et d'esprit. Or, durant quatre actes, il ne commet qu'un seul meurtre, conséquence d'une erreur de perception. À la fin de la pièce, il venge son père, mais in extremis.
Hamlet est une tragédie intérieure, presque intime, dont le rythme est motivé par les hésitations du héros qui donnent lieu à des scènes superbes de grandeur pathétique, car elles disent l'aspiration de l'homme à la liberté et au repos, malgré l'enfermement obsessionnel auquel l'existence le condamne. Tragédie du doute, voyage dans un esprit qui ne rêve que d'immatérialité mais ne parvient pas à prendre son envol, Hamlet, pièce mélancolique, nous invite à un saut existentiel. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Heart of Darkness'Book summary:Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' is widely regarded as one of the most significant works of English literature and part of the Western canon. The story was the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now'. This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary. The story details an incident when Marlow, an Englishman, took a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company. Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up. [via]

In this careful and far-reaching study, Scot McKnight contends that Jesus did in fact anticipate his own death, that Jesus understood his death as an atoning sacrifice, and that his death as an atoning sacrifice stood at the heart of Jesus' own mission to protect his own followers from the judgment of God.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Kritik Der Reinen Vernunft'Book summary:Die Erfolgsgeschichte der modernen Naturwissenschaften vor Augen, wollte Kant auch die Philosophie, insbesondere die Metaphysik auf den sicheren Weg einer Wissenschaft bringen. Das Ergebnis war jedoch die wohl wirkungsvollste und nachhaltigste Zerstörung metaphysischen Denkens in der neuzeitlichen Philosophie.
Kant sprach von einer Kopernikanischen Wende. Sie sollte dadurch herbeigeführt werden, dass die philosophische Erkenntnis sich von den Gegenständen selbst auf die Möglichkeit der Erkenntnis derselben zurückwendet. Kritik der reinen Vernunft bedeutet daher vor allem Selbstprüfung des menschlichen Erkenntnisvermögens hinsichtlich seiner Grenzen und Erkenntnismöglichkeiten. Kants für die moderne Philosophie grundlegende Einsicht war, dass erfahrungsunabhängige, also metaphysische Erkenntnis nur in der Einschränkung auf die formalen Bedingungen möglicher Erfahrung beweisbar und damit alle traditionelle Metaphysik nichts als Scheinwissenschaft ist.
Grundvoraussetzung für dieses Projekt ist die Rückführung aller gültigen Erkenntnis auf die im Subjekt angelegten Bedingungen. So wie Raum und Zeit keine Gegenstände, sondern reine, subjektive Anschauungsformen möglichen Gegebenseins von konkreten empirischen Erscheinungen sind, so sind auch die reinen Verstandesbegriffe bloß formale Bedingungen der Einheit möglicher Objekte. Wir erkennen nie die Dinge an sich selbst, sondern nur die Erscheinungen, das heißt die Gegenstände, wie sie uns durch die formalen Bedingungen unseres Erkenntnisvermögens gegeben sind.
Vor allem Kants idealistische Erben wollten sich mit dieser Einschränkung der Erkenntnis auf die Erscheinungswelt nicht zufrieden geben und gingen daher über Kants kritischen Idealismus hinaus. Statt dessen versucht man in der sprachphilosophisch geläuterten, modernen Erkenntnistheorie (Putnam, McDowell) wieder an Kants Kritizismus Anschluss zu finden. --Jens Kertscher [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Of Grammatology'Book summary:The author is one of the most acclaimed thinker, and expounder of philosophic process of thought of our time. Influence enough to have affected the entire French critical scene, Jacques Derrida has been hailed as the most important philosopher in France today. His ideas of reading and writing, his notion of de-construction, his reinterpretations of phenomenology, of psychoanalysis, and of strucuralism have profoundly influenced the vanguard of European and American criticism and have occasioned lively controversy. Derrida`s philosophical background baffles some literary critics. This role of exposing the common assumption shared by combatants in a controversy raises Derrida`s importance above merely the French scene. [via]

Softcover, Arden Shakespeare
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona'Book summary:[via]The Two Gentlemen of Verona is commonly agreed to be Shakespeare's first comedy, and probably his first play. A comedy built around the confusions of doubling, cross-dressing, and identity, it is also a play about the ideal of male friendship and what happens to those friendships when men fall in love.William Carroll's engaging introduction focuses on the traditions and sources that stand behind the play and explores Shakespeare's unique and bold treatment of them. Carroll first explores the early modern discourse of male friendship and relates it to the plays unsettling ending. Special attention is given to the strong female figure of Julia and the controversial final scene. He goes on to discuss various other relevant topics: the influence of the Prodigal Son story on the play, the problem of using a boy in drag (for the first time in a Shakespearean comedy) to depict Julia, and Shakespeares debt to Ovid and John Lyly in using the theme of metamorphosis. Next, the editor explores the use of letters; the portrayal and breed of Crab, the plays infamous dog; the complex geography of the story; and the plays dramaturgy. Carroll concludes with an extensive look at the plays theatrical and critical afterlife, and a discussion of the original text and date. This edition of The Two Gentlemen of Verona also includes one appendix (a casting chart), and a list of abbreviations and references.The Arden Shakespeare has developed a reputation as the pre-eminent critical edition of Shakespeare for its exceptional scholarship, reflected in the thoroughness of each volume. An introduction comprehensively contextualizes the play, chronicling the history and culture that surrounded and influenced Shakespeare at the time of its writing and performance, and closely surveying critical approaches to the work. Detailed appendices address problems like dating and casting, and analyze the differing Quarto and Folio sources. A full commentary by one or more of the plays foremost contemporary scholars illuminates the text, glossing unfamiliar terms and drawing from an abundance of research and expertise to explain allusions and significant background information. Highly informative and accessible, Arden offers the fullest experience of Shakespeare available to a reader.More editions of The Two Gentlemen of Verona:

De Principatibus: Le Princeby Niccolo Machiavelli, Giorgio Inglese, Jean-Louis Fournel, Jean-Claude ZancariniISBN 2130505309 (2-13-050530-9)
Hardcover, Presses universitaires de France
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'De Principatibus: Le Prince'Book summary:Dédié à Laurent de Médicis, Le Prince est une oeuvre nourrie par l'expérience d'ambassadeur de son auteur. Machiavel y définit les fins du gouvernement : sur le plan extérieur, maintenir à tout prix son emprise sur les territoires conquis ; sur le plan intérieur, se donner les moyens de rester au pouvoir. Parce que les hommes sont égoïstes, le prince n'est pas tenu d'être moral. Il doit être craint en évitant de se faire haïr par le peuple.
La réduction de Machiavel au machiavélisme est cependant trop simpliste. On peut même lire Le Prince comme une des premières oeuvres de science politique, l'auteur ne cherchant qu'à décrire les mécanismes du pouvoir, à la manière du physicien qui détermine les lois de la gravitation. Rousseau ou encore Spinoza ont même pensé que Le Prince s'adressait en vérité au peuple pour l'avertir des stratégies utilisées par les tyrans.
Oeuvre géniale dans son ambiguïté, Le Prince peut donc être lu soit comme un traité de gouvernement à l'usage du despote, soit comme un ouvrage de science, voire comme une critique déguisée du despotisme. --Paul Klein [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Divine Comedie'Book summary:Oeuvre fondatrice de la poésie italienne, La Divine Comédie fut composée par Dante entre 1306 et 1321. Épopée métaphysique, récit d'une véritable vision dont l'auteur aurait fait l'expérience ? Le voici perdu en une "forêt obscure", s'éveillant comme hébété en un monde parallèle où Virgile - son maître spirituel - apparaît bientôt et lui tend une main secourable. Le voyage, ce parcours initiatique menant à la clarté divine, s'ouvre sur la traversée des neuf cercles de l'Enfer, sondant à la fois la symbolique chrétienne et les recoins les plus funestes de l'âme humaine. S'ensuit un vibrant périple au Purgatoire, au terme duquel Dante rencontrera Béatrice (la béatitude...), cette figure rayonnante et céleste qu'il poursuivra avec passion jusqu'aux portes du Paradis. Étonnante de modernité et affranchie des contraintes de la doctrine, La Divine Comédie est également remarquable par sa structure qui constitue un véritable monument de la poésie classique. Une oeuvre dont bien des poètes ont envié la perfection, à commencer par Charles Baudelaire. --Lenaïc Gravis et Jocelyn Blériot [via]

Essaisby Michel De Montaigne, Benedicte Boudou, Denis Bjai, Jean CeardISBN 2253132721 (2-253-13272-1)
Hardcover, Livre de poche
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Essais'Book summary:"Lecteur, je suis moi-même la matière de mon livre" : c'est ce surprenant aveu de subjectivité qui ouvre l'un des textes les plus modernes de la littérature française, quoique l'un des plus anciens. À la mort de son ami La Boétie, Montaigne décide en effet de prendre la plume pour perpétuer leurs discussions si fécondes. Sur ce mode autobiographique, tous les sujets seront abordés, de l'amitié à l'éducation, de la philosophie à la lecture, de la religion à la mort des hommes. En s'observant lui-même, Montaigne fait ainsi le tour de l'homme, proposant une réflexion essentielle sur sa place dans le monde et sur le champ d'action de la pensée humaine.
Au siècle de Rabelais, des poètes de la Pléiade et de l'humanisme européen, l'oeuvre de Montaigne reste une météorite inclassable, entre écriture personnelle et monument philosophique. Oeuvre d'un homme engagé dans son temps, les Essais allaient fonder toute une tradition d'écriture à la française, de Pascal à Malraux, de Rousseau à Camus. --Karla Manuele [via]

Softcover, Distribooks Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Anne FrankTagebuch'Book summary:Dieses lebendige, Einblick gewährende Tagebuch ist seit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung 1947 ein geliebter Klassiker und ein passendes Denkmal für den begabten jüdischen Teenager, der 1945 im Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen ums Leben kam. 1929 geboren, bekam Anne Frank zu ihrem 13. Geburtstag ein neues, unbeschriebenes Tagebuch geschenkt, nur wenige Wochen bevor sie und ihre Familie im von den Nazis besetzten Amsterdam untertauchen mußten. Ihre wunderbar detaillierten persönlichen Eintragungen zeichnen 25 anstrengende Monate klaustrophobischer, streitgeladener Intimität mit ihren Eltern, ihrer Schwester, einer zweiten Familie und einem älteren Zahnarzt nach, der wenig Toleranz für Annes Lebhaftigkeit zeigt. Der universelle Reiz des Tagebuchs beruht auf seiner fesselnden Mischung aus den schmuddeligen Besonderheiten des Lebens im Krieg (karge, schlechte Mahlzeiten; schäbige Kleider, aus denen man längst herausgewachsen ist, die aber nicht ersetzt werden können; die ständige Angst, entdeckt zu werden) und der offenherzigen Auseinandersetzung über Gefühle, die jedem Heranwachsenden bekannt sind: "Jeder kritisiert mich, niemand erkennt meine wahre Natur, wann werde ich endlich geliebt?" Aber Anne Frank war kein gewöhnlicher Teenager: Die späteren Eintragungen verraten einen für eine kaum 15jährige bemerkenswerten Sinn für Mitgefühl und spirituelle Tiefe. Ihr Tod verkörpert den Wahnsinn des Holocaust, aber für die Millionen, die Anne durch ihr Tagebuch kennengelernt haben, ist er auch ein sehr persönlicher Verlust. --Wendy Smith [via]

Hardcover, Deutscher Klassiker Verlag
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Schriften Zur Asthetik Und Naturphilosophie'Book summary:Es ist eine gute Weile her, daß ich Immanuel Kants Kritik der Urteilskraft (1790) gelesen habe. Beim neuerlichen Reinschauen aber erfaßt mich wieder der Wortstrudel der Kantschen Syntax und Begrifflichkeiten, der das Hirn nach nur wenigen Sätzen seiner linguistischen Funktionalität zu berauben scheint. Spätestens beim ersten Umblättern stellt sich jenes Aha-Gefühl ein, das einen sonst nur beim Anblick asiatischer Sprachsysteme befällt, beim Lesen eines deutschen Textes aber an den Rand des Wahnsinn bringen kann.
Wer nun gleich aufgibt, erspart sich zwar eine Menge Lesearbeit, beraubt sich zugleich aber einer ungemein spannenden Lektüreerfahrung. Kant begreifen heißt, sich auf seine Sprache einlassen. So nähert man sich fast zwangsläufig einer zentralen Idee dieser dritten großen kritischen Schrift. Denn, sagt Kant, das Wesen des Geschmacks liegt darin, daß er ohne das Interesse am Objekt des Urteils auskommt. Ästhetisches Urteilen ist interesseloses Wohlgefallen (oder Mißfallen), der Zweck bleibt außen vor. Will heißen: Die Bewertung der Qualität der "Kritik der Urteilskraft" steht vollkommen außerhalb der Frage, ob die Quälerei irgendetwas bringt. Schließlich lasse sich über das Erhabene und Schöne nicht streiten, "und sofern kann man nicht sagen: Ein jeder hat seinen besonderen Geschmack".
Das große Rätsel dieses Werks bleibt das Paradox zwischen allem Anfang Ästhetischen Empfindens im Subjektiven und einem "Gemeinsinn", der es einem erlaubt, das eigene Schönheitsempfinden mit anderen zu teilen. Und die Einsicht in dieses seltsame Verhältnis sorgt für die intellektuelle Lust, die einem diese Erkenntnis (und jede andere etwas komplizierte auch) vermitteln kann. Fragen Sie nicht, was es bringt. Lesen und urteilen Sie! --Harald Stucke [via]
