A strongly pastoral tradition
A formidable scholastic fortress
The final years at Pforta
Arthur Schopenhauer's fateful spell
Philologist and cannoneer
An intoxicating friendship
A bitter taste of warfare
Future-philosophy and after-philology
A first essay in polemics
The uses and abuses of history
Forging a philosophical hammer
The wanderer and his shadow
From Morgenröte to Messina
'Oh, my son Zarathustra!'
Knights and ladies of the Gaya Scienza
'Very black and squid-like'
The 'cave-bear' of Sils-Maria
