Description:The definitive scholarly edition of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg’s philosophical aphorisms.Admired by philosophers such as Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Freud, Benjamin, and Wittgenstein, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799) is known to the English-speaking world mostly as a satirist.
