Wittgenstein, Ludwig; Bochner, Mel; Danto, Arthur C.. ON CERTAINTY / UBER GEWISSHEIT. The Arion Press, San Francisco, 1991.

Price: US$2200.00 + shipping

Description: Majestic Arion Press limited edition of Wittgenstein's last work, illuminated with twelve prints by Mel Bochner. Bilingual edition of Wittgenstein's last writings, on the intricate difficulty of knowing that one knows things. Compiled and published posthumously, in the original German with facing text in the standard English translation of Denis Paul and G.E.M. Anscombe. Bochner's twelve planographic prints build on his earlier "Wittgenstein Illustrations," a series of drawings begun in 1971 and revisited for this project, mirroring "the constant circling and doubling-back of Wittgenstein's approach to philosophy." A stunning copy of this beautiful edition. 14.5'' x 13''. Original grey cloth over boards with pale blue-grey cloth insets on spine and covers, with titling in red and black. Pictorial endpapers. In original gray cloth slipcase. Publisher's prospectus laid in. Limited edition of 300 copies. A touch of fraying to edges of slipcase.
