ADORNO, Theodor W. Kierkegaard. Konstruktion des Ästhetischen. Tübingen: J. C. B. Mohr, 1933. Large octavo, 165pp. First edition of Adorno's first book, his Habilitationsschrift. Adorno is among the greatest philosophers of the Twentieth Century, and one of its most extraodinary writers. We have heard his immortal Minima Moralia (1951) described by one deeply sensitive reader as "the most beautiful book ever written," a sentiment endorsed by not a few others. A very good copy in publisher's printed wrappers with minor wear and tear. Inscribed by Adorno on the title page, 1933, "Herrn Juszher(?) Als Zeichen treuer Verbundenheit. T. W-A. Januar 1933."

ADORNO, Theodor W. Kierkegaard. Konstruktion des Asthetischen. Tuebingen: J.C.B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck), 1933. Octavo, 165pp. Spine mildly faded and with one crease, thus better than very good in blue cloth-covered boards, with the publisher's publicity band. Scarce. The first book by one of the century's most complex and influential thinkers, his qualifying paper (submitted to Paul Tillich) and the first of many critical encounters with the idealism he found in the existentialist thought that had hoped to dispel it.
