	Regarding a Remarkable Book (O. Weininger: Sex and Character)
		Weininger would tend also to study the psychologically concrete problems of -- masculinity, femininity, genius, giftedness, maternalism, eroticism, etc. Many of the psychological observations and generalisations of Weininger are striking in the power of their intuition, without which it is impossible to be a genuine psychologist.
		Weininger therefore hates the F, since that he sees in this element a principle, hostile to the person, hostile to reason and conscience, binding one to the race, to racial reproduction, to the elemental such as is hostile to immortality.
		Weininger puts all his hopes upon an ultimate victory of the masculine over the feminine, which should be a victory of spirit over the flesh, of the world eternal over the world corruptible.

	Otto Weininger
		Otto Weininger (April 3, 1880 - October 4, 1903) was an Austrian philosopher.
		The duty of the male, according to Weininger, is to strive to become a genius, and to forego sexuality for an abstract love of the absolute, God, which he finds within himself.
		Weininger shot himself in the house in Vienna where Beethoven had died, the man he considered one of the greatest geniuses of all.

	Otto Weininger - Chandak Sengoopta
		Otto Weininger is thus more than just a study of the man and his work, offering also a fascinating look at the science, psychology, and philosophy of turn of the century Vienna.
		Weininger's often wild theories are thoughtfully parsed by Sengoopta: there may be little truth to them, as is clear in the light of modern science, but Weininger's reasoning is, indeed, often instructive, especially when the competing ideas of the day (often equally harebrained) are known.
		Weininger claimed that no one was entirely male or female, but rather that each individual was a mix of the two sexes, a proposition he believed had a solid scientific foundation (based on the notion that each cell of the body was part male and part female).

	Nancy A. Harrowitz, Barbara Hyams: Jews and Gender - Print
		In 1903 Otto Weininger, A Viennese Jew who converted to Protestantism, published Geschiecht und Charakter (Sex and Character), a book in which he set out to prove the moral inferiority and character deficiency of "the woman" and "the Jew." Almost immediately, he was acclaimed as a young genius for bringing these two elements together.
		One essay considers the ways Weininger's ideas were used to further Nazi ideology, and several offer feminist approaches to interpreting the intersection of antisemitism and misogyny.

	Vienna1900
		Otto Weininger, the son of a wealthy Jewish artisan, was born on April 3, 1880 in Vienna.
		While his father, too, was anti-semitic, Weininger solidified his feelings toward his Judaic background with the symbolic gesture of converting to Christianity the day he received his Ph.D. Throughout his life, Weininger battled many suicidal tendencies.
		Weininger’s fame would come later in the form of many books, newspaper articles and conversations criticizing and trying to rationalize his assessments of women and Judaism.

	Freethought Forum - Otto Weininger's theory of sex: a critique
		Otto continues the speculative psychology by venting poisoned bile about the Jews, claiming that the Platonic essence of the Jew is "saturated with feminity." Like the Woman, the Jew lacks individuality, a sense of good/evil, souless.
		The story of Otto weininger is best characterized as "what could have been" for he blew his brains out at age 23.
		A life intentionally cut short, Otto's claim to fame is how he ended his life for both logical and ethical obligation to the tragic conclusion of his singular magnum opus, Sex and Character -- for he was both a Jew and a homosexual, and possibly a member of the psychologically female.

	NOMADAS.4 \| Allan Janik: From Logic to Animality
		Weininger (and later Spengler) gave him a powerful alternative picture of the relation of the self and the world to Russell's and at the same time to the egocentric one that we tend to be attached to.
		Weininger gave him a striking counterexample to standard assumptions which he then used as a basis for reflecting upon our "absolute presuppositions" about the nature of logic and the nature of ethics (and ultimately and about the very nature of our civilization).
		Weininger is by no means the only source for his comparison between the training that goes into human concept formation, which is described as with an expression normally used to refer to of animals, dressage (Abrichtung, PI, I, 5-6), but he is a remote source that we dare not overlook.

		OTTO WEININGER, the subject of this biographical and psychoanalytic study, was born in Vienna in 88o.
		...Weininger was really gratifying a literary and poetical impulse more than an analytic one, as is shown by the other fragments collected after his death...
		...Weininger's book permits one to say that he was extraordinarily precocious and brilliant, that he had amazing flashes of insight, but I think we should be a little more chary of using the term "genius," applying it only where there is some solid and continous body of work...

	Sex and character assassination (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		This page is a small review of Weininger, as he remains an interesting human, whose ideologies represent a historic response to changes in male and female concepts of rights and entitlements at the beginning of the 20th century, 100 years ago.
		Weininger is an enigma in terms of his highly theorised perspective on sex, making little use of empiricism, or concrete examples.
		It is arguable that Weininger was in a minority position in his view of women and in any case he was on the losing side in a modern cultural war.

	Wittgenstein Reads Weininger (David G. Stern , BÃ©la Szabados) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		And since the nothingness in question is precisely that spoken of by Otto Weininger when he says that people can indeed truly be nothing, and enact nothing (specifically the criminal and the feminine-minded), it will serve for us to examine this book from the perspective of Weininger's view.
		If it were the case that Weininger was stuck on particular ideal types which were not fruitful, and to the exclusion of other possible types which might be more fruitful, then perhaps we could criticize his method as "inappropriate".
		The evidence of Weininger's writings indicate that he is exceptionally flexible in his use of types, and that he uses those types only so far as they prove true and useful.

		Otto Weininger was a Viennese author, cult figure, tormented soul, who committed suicide in 1903, at the age of 23, in the house were Beethoven once lived.
		Coordinating (â¼)Weininger and (â¼)Wittgenstein is a daunting combinatoric exercise.
		Weininger worried that if he could not be a genius-hero -- like Beethoven -- he would be a criminal; for him there were no stable points between.

		Indeed Weininger is a racist, he is sexist, he hates women, he hates Jews, he hates almost everything that fails to be Aryan masculinity, and his tendency towards mathematical formulation is slightly childish and no doubt dated.
		Weininger argues that the genius is a subject to the "strangest passions" and "most repulsive instincts".
		Weininger is going as far as arguing that the "Aryan has to thank the Jew that through him, he knows to guard against Judaism as a possibility within himself".

		I dancing there, look at her, i think there must be one thing that Otto Weininger missed, then i can smash his theory system just by this, but it go as him say.
		Otto Weininger is right, woman is mind-less, she is influenced all by these weak but numerous worm, if my death can give her a soul...But Otto Weininger have already pointed:"Men, when they love, are partly conscious of this deep injustice to woman, and make the fruitless but heroic effort to give her their own soul.
		Otto Weininer is the greatest man, more great than Napoleon and Nietzsche, he is the real genius, the philosophy genius, as me. He write down "Sex and Character" just for me, for the next genius who will continue his work.

	New Partisan - New Partisan - Genius, Sex and Character
		Weininger’s point of departure is the idea that there are some very basic notions that govern our way in the world — that are, in effect, part of human consciousness even before we have worked out anything like a rational account of them.
		Weininger proposes that the gender of each individual could be most accurately expressed as a kind of algebraic formula: so many parts M, so many parts W. This leads to a couple of interesting consequences.
		At the age of 20, Otto Weininger gave a paper at an international conference defending the value of introspection as a method of psychological research (as opposed to relying strictly on laboratory experimentation).
