FIRST EDITION. Half title + TP + [v] = Dedication page + [vii]-x = Preface + [xi]-xiv = Contents + half title + [3]-313. Octavo. First Edition.Langer was one of the most widely read philosophers of the 20th century and this book actually made publishing history. It was one of the first books written for a major academic press to be picked up by a mass-market publisher; Penguin Books released a thirty-five-cent paperback edition in 1948. By 1951, it had sold more than 110,000 copies, and by the mid-1980s sales had reached almost 450,000. The book was translated into eleven languages and used as a text for courses in a wide variety of academic disciplines. In 1971 Harvard University Press brought out its own paperback edition of the third edition, which was still in print. Total sales for Philosophy in a New Key, in all of its editions, have now exceeded 570,000 copies. Significantly, the work is dedicated to "ALFRED NORTH WHITEHEAD / my great Teacher and Friend." Langer was not just an amazingly original thinker, she was also an excellent and witty writer. The title of this, her most popular book, plays off her love of music while emphasizing the fact that her radical new approach to philosophy is one that is inclusive of several previously neglected non-language-specific areas of human experience.The "new key" in Philosophy is not one which I have struck. Other people have struck it, quite clearly and repeatedly. This book purports merely to demonstrate the unrecognized fact that it is a new key, and to show how the main themes of our thought tend to be transposed into it. As every shift of tonality gives a new sense to previous passages, so the reorientation of philosophy which is taking place in our age bestows new aspects on the ideas and arguments of the past. Our thinking stems from the past, but does not continue it in the ways that were foreseen. Its cleavages cut across the old lines, and suddenly bring out new motifs that were not felt to be implicit in the premises of the schools at all; for it changes the questions of philosophy. (Preface)Her book "changes the questions of philosophy" by challenging two basic assumptions held by philosophers.These two basic assumptions, go hand in hand: (1) that language is the only means of articulating thought, and (2) that everything which is not speakable thought is feelingI believe that in this physical, space-time world of our experience there are things which do not fit the grammatical scheme of expression. But they are not necessarily blind, inconceivable, mystical affairs; they are simply matters which require to be conceived through some symbolistic schema.In short, Langer denied the rational/nonrational dichotomy that is usually ascribed to intellectual versus creative discourses. It is unfortunate that the wide recognition this book received for its new approach to aesthetics overshadowed the work's innovative articulation of a radical new empiricism, one that was open to the complexities of actual experiences in creativity and invention. Original publisher's dark blue cloth with a few small, random white spots to the front cover. The gilt lettering to the spine has been a bit sun darkened. Otherwise, this is a bright, tight, and clean copy of this amazingly important book by Langer. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
