Combining rational reasoning with irrational outbursts, in the context of today's scholarship, Sex and Character speaks to issues of gender, race, cultural identity, the roots of Nazism, and the intellectual history of modernism and modern European culture. This new translation presents, for the first time, the entire text, including Weininger's extensive appendix with amplifications of the text and bibliographical references, in a reliable English translation, together with a substantial introduction that places the book in its cultural and historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLadislaus Löb is Emeritus Professor of German at the University of Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Steuer is Senior Lecturer in German in the School of Humanities, University of Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaura Marcus is Reader in English in the School of Humanities, University of Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 437\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.49 x 9.48 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 14, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45304538824806,"sku":"9780253344717","price":147.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/cmxZNytNOHB1QklLb2JCZWtiNWV6Zz09.webp?v=1774036231","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/sex-and-character-an-investigation-of-fundamental-principles-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
