Dr. Oskar Adler (1875-1955), of Vienna, Austria, was a physician, esoteric scholar, 1st violin of the Adler Quartet, and Arnold Schoenberg's first music teacher and lifelong friend. The Critique of Pure Music - and his original German Kritik, written in 1918, remained unpublished until now. This bilingual English-German edition was translated by Michaela Meiser of Austria. Publisher and Editor, Amy Shapiro previously published Dr. Oskar Adler: A Complete Man, plus his The Testament of Astrology. Adler's timeless reflections serve as a healing balm in our stormy times. As he writes (Ch. 2, "Essence and Origin of Music," p. 116): "Life means to understand the eternal "Now" within oneself. Any living being that is not "living in the now," does not live but is being lived. To live in the now is only possible through the inner rhythm of time - through synthesizing the perfect contradiction of unreal and real, the gnostic expression of which is becoming. Our living self is thus captured in its innermost core through the art of music, as the art of pure becoming, thus the art of being utterly alive." Reviewer's Quotes: Composer Reese Scott describes it as "a phenomenon of a unique time - the interface of the old European world with the 20th century --especially keenly felt in Vienna. It interfaces music, spirituality, anthropology, astrology, number and psychology, and transcends time in a way unique to Adler. It's a curious combination of pure sincerity mixed with relentless pedantry --he dishes out intuitions and ideas with no apology and talks about music's spiritual basis, as if it were a touching prayer. The primary force behind Adler's unique ideas is cosmic and esoteric. His work is deeply steeped in many traditions, and yet full of odd eccentricities, as shown by his unusual nomenclature for modal scales, his ideas on music and triangles, and his cosmic symbolism reminiscent of much older authors, such as Kepler." Prof. Dr. Alfred Pfabigan of Philosophical Practice Märzstraße, Vienna writes, "Austrian Intellectual History research owes great thanks to the editor and translator of Oskar Adler's book. Not only that much of this lost work is still valid today, it also offers an inside look into the way of thinking as articulated in the legendary "Fin de siècle - Vienna" and which surely - unnoticed by research - also emanated to Adler's pupils, as for example Schönberg."

Jahrhundert -, die in Wien besonders stark über diese Periode zu spüren war. Obwohl andere Bücher dieser Zeitperiode ebenso weitreichende Perspektiven inkludieren, kenne ich keines, das so viele Disziplinen miteinander in Verbindung bringt - musikalische, spirituell-geistige, anthropologische, astrologische, numerische und psychologische. Aber dieses Buch hebt die Grenzen der Zeit in einer einzigartigen Art und Weise auf, die für Adler typisch war. Adler denkt ganz anders als seine Zeitgenossen, und schreibt auf vielschichtigen Ebenen. Es ist eine kuriose Mischung aus reiner Aufrichtigkeit und unnachgiebiger Pedanterie. Ich liebe es, wie er seine Eingebungen und Ideen ohne Entschuldigung auftischt. Er spricht über die geistige Grundlage der Musik, als ob es sich um ein berührendes Gebet handelt. Die primäre Kraft hinter Adlers einzigartigen Ideen ist kosmischer und esoterischer Natur. Seine Arbeit ist tief in vielen Traditionen verwurzelt und trotzdem voll von schräger Exzentrizität, wie seine ungewöhnliche Nomenklatur für modale Skalen, seine Ideen zur Musik und Dreiecken, sowie seine kosmische Symbolik, die an sehr viel ältere Autoren wie Kepler erinnert." Komponist Reese Scott (USA)Oskar Adler war Arzt, Astrologe und vor allem Musiker, bekannt als Gründer und erste Geige des Adler Quartetts. Er verfasste sein Werk "Die Kritik der reinen Musik"

‘This book is a tribute to [Stein’s] appreciation of the land of his adoption and, to those who knew him, it is a monument to his penetrative powers of spiritual perception.’ – A.P. Shepherd At a time when British identity is being reassessed and questioned, W.J. Stein’s classic and timeless study, with its penetrative analysis of the character, psychology and destiny of the British people, takes on new relevance. Stein, a political refugee from Austria, spent the last 24 years of his life in Britain. As an outsider, he was able to view British custom and culture with objectivity. As a student of Rudolf Steiner, he brought years of spiritual study and wisdom to the writing of this book, enabling profound insights. In this concise and aphoristic study, Stein writes on everything from geography, history, politics and economics to the arts (in particular painting and music) and religion. He also reflects on the British concept of freedom, as well as Great Britain’s somewhat mysterious propensity to extend itself – and its language and culture – across the world. ‘Amidst the international turmoils of today the Delphic word can be heard to resound from all sides, in its metamorphosed form: “Know yourselves as folk-souls!” Stein’s little book is an invaluable contribution to such a super-individual self-knowledge.’ – T.H. Meyer

PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

J.R. Kantor, founder of The Psychological Record and its editor for the first five volumes, returned to its pages in 1968 as an essayist under the carefully maintained nom de plume of Observer. The Record had become the principal organ of the school of Interbehavioral Psychology, which he had established, and its universe of interests has continued to expand. The Comments and Queries which Kantor selected for republication in the present volume present his assessment of many trends and problems in contemporary psychology. Furthermore, in them his wide-ranging and integrative thought deals with the place of psychology in the broad range of psychological and philosophical endeavor.
