Description:

Paul Rée (1849-1901), an interdisciplinary traveller and admirer of the French moralistes, but also of Schopenhauer and Darwin, was for a time one of the closest friends of Lou Andreas-Salomé and Friedrich Nietzsche. With his publications, Rée wanted to convert moral philosophy into moral science.
This edition presents his books Psychologische Beobachtungen (Psychological Observations) (1875), Der Ursprung der moralischen Empfindungen ( The Origin of Moral Sensations) (1877), Die Entstehung des Gewissens (The Genesis of Conscience) (1885) and Die Illusion der Willensfreiheit (The Illusion of Free Will) (1885). Together with a sketch of Rée's biography and the history of his works, which makes hitherto unknown documents accessible (such as the official record of Rée's fatal fall), Treiber reveals numerous sources for Rée's texts. In addition, he reproduces available contemporary reactions to the publications.

Review Quotes:

"Gelesen wurde Rée nur in seinen Briefen, [...] Das hat sich jetzt dank einer ausserordentlich verdienstvollen Edition der 'Gesammelten Werke' durch den Rée-Spezialisten Hubert Treiber in der rennommierten Reihe der 'Supplementa Nietzscheana' geändert."
Lutger Lütkehaus in: Neue Zürcher Zeitung 2004

"[...] hervorragende Neuedition der vier Werke."
Andreas Urs Sommer in: Philosophische Rundschau 2/2005

"[...] an extremely impressive scholary edition."
Times Literary Supplement 12/2005

"Die Editionsleistung von Hubert Treiber [...] ist vorbildlich."
Eckart Otto in: Zeitschrift für altorientalische und biblische Rechtsgeschichte 11/2005
