Otto Weininger illustrates the manifestations of unconscious phantasy in children - normal, neurotic or psychotic - in various settings such as playgroups, ordinary schools or special schools for disturbed children, the family milieu or play therapy. He uses Melanie Klein's developmental theory and shows the evolutions of phantasies in their content, in the way they are symbolizes, and their functioning in terms of the child's evolution from the paranoid-schizoid position to the depressive position and Oedipus complex.

Sex and Character - with interlinear translation, Otto Weininger, translation: Robert Willis. Through the distinction between the man type and the woman type, the young latter nineteenth-century Viennese thinker Otto Weininger attempts to bring the contrast of transcendent individuality and worldly individualism into sharper relief. Even further, he posits the existence of a deeper psychical realm that surpasses sexuality and gender, and that ultimately would liberate mankind of original sin, returning it to its naive state of innocence. In this undertaking, Weininger uses many philosophical, religious, empirical, aesthetic, literary, and historical references of the past to supplement his own insights. This translation follows the original German verbatim. I have chosen this method in order to retain its German stylistic character as much as possible.

Otto Weininger s controversial book Sex and Character, first published in Vienna in 1903, is a prime example of the conflicting discourses central to its time: antisemitism, scientific racism and biologism, misogyny, the cult and crisis of masculinity, psychological introspection versus empiricism, German idealism, the women s movement and the idea of human emancipation, the quest for sexual liberation, and the debates about homosexuality. 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."

Der anstandige Mensch geht selbst in den Tod, wenn er fuhlt, dass er endgultig bose wird..." (Otto Weininger, 1903) Der osterreichische Philosoph Otto Weininger wollte nichts weniger als einen gesellschaftlichen Umbruch herbeifuhren: Zerfressen von Hass und Selbstzweifel beschaftigt er sich in diesem Werk mit seinen Feindbildern, den Frauen und den Juden. Anhand dieser prinzipiellen Untersuchung der Geschlechter gelangt er zu dem Schluss, dass durch weibische Lusternheit" und Geistlosigkeit" die gesellschaftlichen Grundsatze bedroht sind. Als Gegenpol sieht er dabei nur den Innbegriff des Mannlichen und Christlichen. Bis heute werden die radikalen und verstorenden Thesen dieses klassischen Dokuments der Wiener Moderne kontrovers diskutiert. Der 1880 geborene Philosoph und Psychologe Otto Weininger, introvertiert und von judischer Abstammung, konvertierte in jungen Jahren zum Protestantismus. Zeit seines kurzen Lebens machte er durch extreme Sichtweisen und Theorien auf sich aufmerksam; 1903 geht er nach jahrelangen Depressionen in den Freitod. Durch seinen Suizid wurde er zum Mythos und sein Buch zum Bestseller.
