Bernard Bolzano Livres

Bolzano ecrit deux grands textes au soir de sa vie sur l'esthetique et l'art : Du Concept du beau et De la division des beaux arts, ici regroupes et traduits pour la premiere fois. Ces Ecrits esthetiques s'inserent dans la publication des OEuvres choisies de Bolzano deja parues, ils temoignent de la variete des objets philosophiques auxquels il s'est interesse et de la precision conceptuelle a laquelle il les soumet. L'esthetique de Bolzano s'enracine dans le josephisme, s'inscrit dans le cadre de sa Theorie de la science, sans ignorer la profonde transformation de l'esthetique a l'articulation du XVIIIe et du XIXe siecle et les riches debats que cela induit. Les outils conceptuels dont il use le conduisent a penser le concept du beau selon un realisme de la signification couple a une reflexion originale sur l'ontologie de l'oeuvre d'art. La voie autrichienne originale en philosophie comme en esthetique qu'ouvrent ces Ecrits esthetiques, s'opposant a la tradition idealiste et romantique allemande, sera associee au XIXe siecle au formalisme esthetique de l'ecole de J. F. Herbart : ils offrent donc l'opportunite d'enrichir et de nuancer l'histoire de l'esthetique et de la philosophie de l'art de langue allemande en France.

The present selection from the Wissenschaftslehre (Sulzbach 1837) of Bernard Bolzano (1781-1848) aims at giving a compact view of his main ideas in logic, semantics, epistemology and the methodology of science. These ideas are analyzed from a modern point of view in the Introduction. Furthermore, excerpts from Bolzano's correspondence are included which yield important remarks on his own work. The translation of the sections from the Wissenschaftslehre are based on a German text, which I have located in the Manuscript Department of the University Library in Prague (signature: 75 B 459). It was one of Bolzano's own copies of his printed work and contains a vast number of corrections made by Bolzano himself, thus representing the final stage of his thought, which has gone unnoticed in previous editions. The German originals of Bolzano's letters to M. J. Fesl, J. P. Romang, R. Zimmermann and F. Pi'ihonsky are in the Literary Archive of the Pamatnfk narodnfho pfsemnictvf in Prague. The original of the letter to F. Exner belongs to the Manuscript Department of the Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna. The original of the letter to J. E. Seidel is preserved in the Museum of the City of Ceske Budejovice.

The book offers a comprehensive exploration of Dr. Bernard Bolzano's influential yet overlooked mathematical work from the 19th century, known as Paradoxien. It features a skilled translation by Donald A. Steele S.J., alongside a historical introduction that provides insights into Bolzano's life and contributions as a mathematician, logician, and physicist. This volume seeks to highlight Bolzano's significance in the field and the lasting impact of his ideas on mathematics and logic.

Bernard Bolzano's (1781-1848) writings in aesthetics are clear, concise, and explicit about method. Provocative and revisionary, they champion broad views of beauty, the arts, and their social function. Dominic McIver Lopes's introductory materials place Bolzano's essays in context, give them a new interpretation, and map out how to teach them, in full or in part, in a variety of courses.
