A Documentary Volume on Otto Weininger and his Works

By the production of the critical on-line edition of the works and letters of Otto Weininger, we have collected in the course of the work a fullness of data from unpublished documents and manuscripts. With that material new facts arise which up to now could find their place within the publication of Weiningers works and letters merely as footnotes. It appears inevitably to lift out these new informations from the footnotes and to present them in a clear and stimulating manner for scientific studies. A publication as a book could complete the bases for the scientific Weininger researches beside the critical on-line issue. The new findings concern the assets of Eva Weininger, the woman of a son of Otto Weiningers brother Richard in the Jewish museum of Vienna, the assets of Hermann Swoboda who are in the possesion of his granddaughter Eva May, Vienna.,Further a bundle of papers of newspaper articles, the "day sheet collection" about Weininger from the Vienna library in the city hall, University acts on graduations of Weininger and his friends, property declarations and deportation documents. The evaluation of the extensive abandonment shaft act ("Verlassenschaftsakte") of Weininger is informative and illuminates the realisation of his posthumous writings. Single letters concerning the beginning of the social- scientific educational association from the social-scientific archive of the university of Graz with the whole correspondence and early scattered tips of the circle of friends mark a new picture of Otto Weininger. His influence on the friends and his integration in the social, scientific and cultural life of Vienna around the turn of the century presents itself in a quite new light. Content structure: 1. Weiningers early publication attempts and his social activities 2. Origin of the posthumous publications and her publishers A. Gerber and M. Rappaport 3. The role of the associations 4. Weiningers testament 5. Weiningers death 6. The assets of Hermann Swoboda 6. Early acknowledgments of Prof. Jodl 7. Early pamphlets and writings 8. Acknowledgments of Weininger till the present
