This original 1915 edition of “Modern Philosophers” by Harald Høffding is a rare find for collectors and scholars of early 20th-century philosophy. Høffding, a Danish philosopher and professor at the University of Copenhagen, was a prominent figure in the movement known as the “Copenhagen School” of philosophy, which sought to reconcile idealism and positivism. This volume contains two sets of lectures delivered by Høffding, one from 1902 and another on the influential French philosopher Henri Bergson from 1913, providing a fascinating glimpse into the philosophical debates and dialogues of the era.

While the hardcover shows signs of wear and a coffee stain on the front, a testament to its well-loved status, the pages remain clean and the binding secure, ensuring the longevity of this historical artifact. For collectors and readers alike, this volume offers a unique opportunity to engage with the intellectual currents that shaped modern philosophy, as well as Høffding’s influential perspectives on the likes of Bergson, whose ideas on intuition and the élan vital challenged the prevailing rationalism of the time. Despite its age and wear, this copy retains its scholarly value and historical significance, making it a prized addition to any philosophical library.
