Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In How to Be a Marxist in Philosophy one of the most famous Marxist philosophers of the 20th century shares his concept of what it means to function fruitfully as a political thinker within the discipline and environs of philosophy. This is the first English translation to Althusser's provocative and, often, controversial guide to being a true Marxist philosopher. Althusser argues that philosophy needs Marxism. It can't exist fully without it. Similarly, Marxism requires the rigour and structures of philosophy to give it form and focus. He calls all thinking people to, 'Remember: a philosopher is a man who fights in theory, and when he understands the reasons for this fight, he joined the ranks of the struggle of workers and popular classes.' In short, this book comprises Althusser's elucidation of what praxis means and why it continues to matter. With a superb introduction from translator and Althusser archivist G.M. Goshgarian, this is a book that will re-inspire contemporary Marxist thought and reinvigorate our notions of what political activism can be. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Zustand: Good. - Approximately 119 words penned in black ink on a 8-1/4 inch high by 5-1/4 inch wide sheet of bluish-gray paper. Signed "B. S Hilaire". The paper is lightly bumped with its edges slightly faded. There is a small tear to the right edge. Folded twice for mailing. Good. Barthelemy-Saint-Hilaire writes in French to an English gentleman who has been referred to him by Lord Houghton. He apologizes for failing to find him at a crowded function. He explains that he had ordered the guards to make sure that the gentleman got past the door, and had also brought with him a friend who spoke very good English. He says that he is completely at the gentleman's disposal if he can be of use in acquainting him with "nos affaires politiques", which at the moment are very complicated.Jules Barthelemy-Saint-Hilaire [1805-1895] was a French statesman and philosopher. In his early years he worked for the Ministry of Finance and was an active journalist. After 1830 he gave up politics in order to devote himself to the study of ancient philosophy, undertaking a translation of Aristotle which occupied him for most of his life. After the revolution of 1848 he was elected a republican deputy from the department of Seine-et Oise. Following further political upheavals he was apppointed senator for life. From 18800-81 he was minister of foreign affairs in the cabinet of Jules Ferry.

8vo. 1 p. Thanking a director at Libriaire Stock for a "gesture of sympathy" and expressing his hope to see Gaston: "Merci pour le bon [?] et pour la carte. Vous êtes, et chez Stock et vous, trop diligents dans vos gestes de sympathie. On en a honte. J'espère voir Gaston ces jours ci. Il est en vacances mais il revient de temps en temps à Paris [.]". - On stationery of the Nouvelle Revue française. With some deeper tears and browning.

3 pp. on bifolium. Large 8vo. With integral autograph address panel. To the "bureaux du journal la France rue des filles St. Thomas, place de la bourse, Paris", about linguistic matters, with a reference to M. Ch. Nodier as a linguist and discussing the ancient origins of the grammatical cases: "C'est d'une question de grammaire que je voudrais demander le soutien à [.] mon honorable et spirituel confrère de l'institut M. Ch. Nodier qui s'est particulièrement occupé de Linquistique [.] Mais dans les declinaison des substantifes et leurs differents cas, appelés nominatif, genitif, datif, acusatif, vocatif, ablatif, quelle peut en etre la raison? [.] J'ay [.] y voir l'expression des deux traites qui comprennent toute l'economie des sociétés humaines, societé domestique et de producteur soiciété politique ou publique et de conservation. Le nominatif qui s'exprime ou se nomme lui [meme], ego ego tam qui tam dit le pouvoir supréme [.]". - Bonald took an important role in the Bourbon Restoration, implementing a law that in 1822 abolished the freedom of press. He is remembered for developing a set of social theories that went on to shape the ontological framework from which French sociology would emerge. - Small cuts and clips from opening.

3 letters 8vo (135 x 210 mm), 3 pp. (one on a bifolium), plus one letter 12mo (114 x 130 mm), 1 p. Correspondence from one of France's prominent philosophers and republican politicians during the Second Empire and the Third Republic, some dating from his brief tenure as president of the latter. Together, they offer a cross-section of his trajectory from oppositional thinker to head of government. - 1) Undated letter referring to the recent publication of his work Le Devoir, which appeared in 1854: "Permettez-moi de vous offrir un exemplaire d'un livre que je viens de publier sur le Devoir. J'ai choisi, comme vous le voyez, un beau sujet. Puisse je ne pas être la voix qui crie dans le désert." The work was an expression of his republican principles in opposition to the power of Napoleon III. - 2) A statement reading "Je jure obéisance à la constitution en fidélité à l'empereur", dated Paris, 9 May 1863, probably in connection with his standing as a candidate in the elections of the following month. The careful wording was clearly chosen to allow the republican statesman to avoid swearing loyalty to the emperor directly. - 3) Paris, 19 January, year not given but clearly 1877 as it is on letterhead of the Ministery of the Interior, a post he held together with Presidency between 12 December 1876 and 17 May 1877, which accounts for how busy he was at the time: in attempting to arrange dinner with a friend, he states that Monday is the only day he has free all week. - 4) 13 December, no year. Personal blue paper embossed JS. A letter on business, seemingly the signing of a letter - no response from Martel, while Languinois abstains as he is no longer a deputy. If from 1876 as seems likely, this would date to the day after Simon assumed the posts of Président du Conseil des ministres and Ministre de l'Intériuer. The personal letterhead implies a more informal side of political negotiations. - A collection which together offers glimpses into the life of a politician and intellectual of later nineteenth-century France. - Light browning according with age, one item with creases and tears, repaired, some very light smudging and staining in a few places. All items clear and legible, all signatures clean and elegant.

Postcard format. 1 p. With autograph address. To the Parisian publishing house Librairie Stock, requesting a reviewer's copy of Albert Thibaudet's "Histoire de la littérature française" for his journal "Esprit": "Emmanuel Mounier, directeur d'Esprit, serait heureux d'avoir un service personnel de l'histoire littéraire de Thibaudet, dont il fera rendu compte dans notre prochain numéro". - On Esprit stationery. With recipient's mark "fait", date, and stamp.

4to. French manuscript on paper. (2) pp. on 2 ff. Interesting early manuscript of chapter I/2 of his series of articles entitled "Les communistes et la paix" that was first published in Sartre's journal "Les Temps modernes" (July 1952 - April 1954) and later in its entirety and thoroughly revised as part of the collection Situations VI (1964). The original title of the chapter, "Moscou veut la guerre", sets the cynical tone of the text that was first conceived in reaction to the deadly suppression of the Paris protests against General Ridgway on 28 May 1952 and the subsequent wrongful arrest of the French communist leader Jacques Duclos. Sartre accuses Western, particularly U.S. politicians of hypocrisy as, in the name of peace, they employ the violent and belligerent means that theye ascribe to the Soviet Union, polemically asking, in a deleted section: "Do you not also pretend to desire peace? I look for your olive twigs and I see atomic bombs, I look for your doves and I see rocket planes. You say that you show your force so as not to have to make use of it. But to show force is already violence: let your tanks defile, cover the African sky with your bombers [.]". - With "Les communistes et la paix" Sartre publicly affirmed his support of the French Communist Party, despite its loyalty to Stalin, which would cause his rupture with Maurice Merleau-Ponty. In 1956, appalled by the Soviet invasion of Hungary, Sartre definitely broke with the party. Unsurprisingly, the corresponding pages in the 1964 publication Situations VI (96-97) are very different from the manuscript and the article. - Some browning and bent corners.

8vo. 4 pp. on bifolium. To a friend about their mutual acquaintance Félix Stappaerts (1812-85), editor of the "Revue Britannique Belge", who had promised Leopold, Duke of Brabant and heir apparent to the Belgian throne, to use his journal to lobby for the construction of a Belgian fleet, and attempted to convince Alphonse-Nicolas Lebègue (1814-85), the editor of "L'Office de Publicité", to do the same, efforts which led to accusations of his having abandoned his political independence as a journalist to be levelled against him: "M. Stappaerts, de vos amis, est directeur de la Revue Britannique Belge [.] Dernièrement, Monseigneur le duc de Brabant, qui caresse le projet de créer en Belgique une marine de l'Etat, fit prendre 50 abonnement[s] de la Revue en demandant à M. Stappaerts s'il ne lui serait point agréable de défendre, dans son excellent recueil, le projet de marine de Son Altesse. M. Stappaerts répondit, en acceptant les abonnements, que certainement rien n'allait mieux aux idées de la Revue et à son impartialité personnelle, et qu'il était hereux de faire quelque chose pour le bien de l'Etat, et le service de Monseigneur. Là-dessus, Monseigneur d'exprimer sa reconnaissance, en ajoutant qu'il serait tout à fait content, si, par l'entremise de M. Stappaerts, il pouvait obtenir pareille faveur de l'Office de publicité [.] Engagement pris, le Britannique vient donc trouver l'Officieur: Bonne nouvelle, dit-il, je vous apporte cent abonnements. Que me faudra-t-il faire? Presque rien, prendre parti dans l'Office pour la marine belge comme je le fais dans La Revue. À ces mots, la dignité du libraire-éditeur monte sur ses grands chevaux: L'Office est indépendant, nous voulons garder notre position. Vous êtes libre [.] de faire ce qu'il vous plaira de la Revue, mais nous, Office de publicité, il ne saurait nous convenir d'inféoder, à aucun prix, notre opinion [.]". - Small marginal flaws, slightly affecting text. Two small newspaper clippings from "Office de publicité" mounted to third page.

8vo. 2¾ pp. on bifolium. With autograph envelope. Written in exile to the lawyer Gustave Chaudey (1817-71) in Paris fearing the imminent seizure and auction of his and his wife's possessions at their Paris home, hoping she will be able to secure his manuscripts and notes, as well as his collection of the Revue du Peuple, and a Latin Bible with his handwritten annotations: "A présent j'ai à vous consulter sur deux choses: 1. Ne va-t-on pas aller rue d'Enfer, 82, opérer une siasie, mettre à l'encan les logues de ma femme et les miennes, et étaler au grand jour ma vieille misère? [.] J'ai, parmi mes livres, la collection complète du Peuple, etc., et une Bible in 4o, latine, chargée de notes marginales de ma main, que je ne céderais pas pour mille écus [.] En tout cas, et pour éviter l'indiscrétion de ces bons messieurs de la police, je serais bien aise que ma femme mît en sûreté manuscrite, carnets de notes, Peuple, et Bible [.]". - Inquiring about legal options to fight his conviction following the prosecution and confiscation of his famous work "Justice in the Revolution and in the Church", pointing out that even a man sentenced to death and executed can be rehabilitated if the truth comes out later, about his intention to publish a memoir, a plan impeded by the authorities who will not give him sufficient time or listen to his claim that several laws were violated in his conviction, and wishing for a sentence authorising him to publish his memoir in Paris: "Par exemple, il y a moyen de réhabiliter un homme condamné à mort et exécuté, si la vérité se reconnaît plus tard. N'y aurait-il rien pour mon affaire? [.] J'ai dit que je voulais publier un Mémoire, on ne m'en laisse pas le temps - j'ai dit que tous les principes étaient violés dans man condamnation, on n'écoute rien [.] Je veux un arrêt de la Cour qui m'autorise à publier mon Mémoire à Paris, en tel nombre qui me conviendra [.]". - A few tiny marginal flaws. - Corresponance VIII, 135-138.

Large 4to. 1 p. To one "cher ami", i. e. "Raymond Gallimard", publisher of the "Nouvelle Revue française": "Je suis étonné du chire 12.500 - que vous me signelez comme touché par moi en 29. [.] J' aimerais savoir le montant de mon crédit au 10 fevrier [.] Je re-réclame le listé actuell de mes amis avec leur adresses. Que de choses! Amities et merci | votre Paul Valery". - On stationery with headed paper of Librairie Gallimard; small traces of folding.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script. [8], 248, [1] p. Henri-Louis Bergson was one of the most famous and influential French philosophers of the late 19th century-early 20th century. Although his international fame reached cult-like heights during his lifetime, his influence decreased notably after the Second World War. While such French thinkers as Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, and Lévinas explicitly acknowledged his influence on their thought, it is generally agreed that it was Gilles Deleuze's 1966 Bergsonism that marked the reawakening of interest in Bergson's work. Deleuze realized that Bergson's most enduring contribution to philosophical thinking is his concept of multiplicity. Bergson's concept of multiplicity attempts to unify in a consistent way two contradictory features: heterogeneity and continuity. Many philosophers today think that this concept of multiplicity, despite its difficulty, is revolutionary. It is revolutionary because it opens the way to a re-conception of community. Especially for his intuition concept, his ideas were adopted by conservative philosophers and intellectuals of Turkey and the last Ottoman Empire. Halil Nimetullah Öztürk was a Turkish author and translator. He graduated from the Istanbul University Faculty of Law. He studied philosophy in Paris. In 1910, he became a lecturer in philosophy and theology at Darülfunun (Istanbul University)and became a professor in 1928. After the Turkish Letter Revolution in 1928, he published many reviews and articles on the purification of the Turkish language from foreign words. He worked on old texts in the TDK [Türk Dil Kurumu = i.e. Turkish Language Society]. First Edition in the Turkish literature.

8vo. 1 p. To the lawyer Anatole Catusse, declining an invitation to dinner because of his earlier acceptance of an invitation to attend the "inauguration dinner of the Musée social". The letter can be dated with respect to the dinner that took place on Monday 25 March 1895. As Izoulet mentions, the Musée Social was funded by count Aldebert de Chambrun. - In the second part of the letter, Izoulet expresses his regret that Madame Marie-Maguerite Catusse couldn't attend a Latin thesis defense ceremony at the Sorbonne earlier that year because the "hall was full" when she arrived. - Marie-Maguerite Catusse (1858-1928) was one of the closest friends of Marcel Proust's mother Jeanne Weil and a friend and longtime correspondent of Marcel Proust. - The Musée social was founded to preserve documents from the Social Economy pavilion of the 1899 Exposition Universelle. Over the years, the well-funded institution became an important center of research into a broad range of topics, including social housing, labor organization, and city planning. Based on its expertise and important supporters and members, the Musée social gained great influence over government policy in the 1st half of the 20th century. - With a tear to a fold slightly affecting the text.
