Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Zustand: VERY GOOD. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. A notable signed association copy of this posthumous collection of essays by the Austrian-American philosopher Heinrich Gomperz (1873-1942), published in compliance with his last wishes by his wife, Ada Gomperz in partnership with his USC colleague Daniel S. Robinson. SIGNED by Ada Gomperz on the half-title and inscribed to Herbert Searles--Gomperz's colleague in the USC philosophy department--'To Dr. Herbert Searles / my husband's colleague for many years.' Searles and Gomperz were early titans of the famed USC Philosophy department. Ada Gomperz was a renowned modernist interior designer, teaching at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna until she and Heinrich--both Jews--fled the Nazis in 1935. Heinrich had been Professor of Philosophy at the University of Vienna, where he had been on faculty since 1905; in 1934 he was targeted under the Dismantling Act and forced into early retirement with a meager pension. In the U.S., Heinrich landed with an appointment to the philosophy department at USC, while Ada continued her work, forming a successful design firm in partnership with Liane Zimbler. Notably, the Gomperzs brought with them the library first begun by his father, Theodor--some 18,000 volumes of philosophy. The collection was donated to USC after his death, and forms the core of their Philosophy Special Collections. From the USC website: 'The Gomperz Library of Philosophy, formed in Vienna by the philosopher-scholars Theodor and Heinrich Gomperz during the latter part of the 19th century and first part of the 20th, was widely regarded as the finest of its kind in private hands.' This posthumous collection was dedicated by Ada, 'As a monument to my husband from his wife.' From the back cover: 'The publication of this brilliant man's papers offers a significant contribution to the philosophic controversy of our time. They form an engrossing and impressive book which portrays in brilliant fashion a man and a symbol, and contain a collection of papers, partly left unpublished at the time of his death, and partly published previously. They are published in compliance with his last wishes, and they are adequately illustrative of the different facets of his intellectual activity. The autobiographical remarks are especially interesting in that they reveal a self-portrait of a man of warm loyalties, wide tolerance, great intellectual integrity and his own dynamic personality against the background of the period in which he lived.' 287pp. 8vo, Navy cloth, gilt spine and front-cover lettering. With Herbert Searles' owner stamp to the FFEP. Annotated occasionally in pencil and with a brief note on scratch paper--possibly by Searles, though we cannot substantiate his handwriting. DJ with some wear and loss to the tips, splotchy dampstain to spine and toning to all edges. VERY GOOD in VERY GOOD jacket. Signed.
