Critical On-Line-Edition of Otto Weininger´s Correspondence

In October 2007 the critical on-line edition of the works of Otto Weininger will be completed (FWF Project number 17975). The aim of this project is to complete the text body of Otto Weininger with a critical on-line edition of letters, miscellanies and documents. Working steps: 1. Entire edition, commentary and transcription of the correspondance between Otto Weininger and the later professor of psychologie in Vienna Hermann Swoboda from the Swoboda estate. It concerns 225 manuscripts, 139 letters from Weininger to Swoboda and 78 letters from Swoboda to Weininger. Only 45 letters are published up to now, mostly in shortened form. In fact, it is a very favourable circumstance that we have the correpondance of both partners. 2. Edition and comment of the letters of Otto Weininger and Arthur Gerber that are published in Taschenbuch und Briefe an einen Freund (Pocket-book and letters to a friend) which will be completed with other unpublished letters found in scattered places. 3. Revision of the letter extracts of Otto Weininger to Moriz Rappaport in Über die letzten Dinge (On last things). 4. Revision, transcription and commentary of unpublished letters in the estate of Eva Weininger in the Jewish museum of Vienna. 5. Collection, revision and commentary of scattered letters found in the Weininger literature (D. Abrahamsen, Die Fackel, J. Le Rider, F. Probst, R. Pfennig, O. Ewald, E. Lucka, A. Gerber). 6. Miscellanies: On-line text of the studies to Geschlecht und Charakter (Eros und Psyche and Zur Theorie des Lebens), book reviews, self announcements, verses 7.
