Geschlecht und Charakter: Eine prinzipielle Untersuchung by Otto Weininger
"Geschlecht und Charakter: Eine prinzipielle Untersuchung" by Otto Weininger is a philosophical work published in 1903. The twenty-three-year-old Austrian philosopher presents a controversial theory examining the relationship between the sexes. Weininger proposes that all humans contain both masculine and feminine elements in varying proportions, creating a spectrum between ideal types. His work develops a dualistic philosophy centered on gender differences, arguing for the superiority of masculine principles while associating femininity with absence
and negation. The book became a classic document of Viennese modernism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
