Subject: the teaching professio


I'm wondering what we should make of Nietzsche's last words (in the 
note to Burckart) before he left us: "Dear Professor, all things 
considered, I would rather be a professor at Basel, than God."

Of course it's funny and gets funnier the more you think about it, 
but maybe there IS a way to take it (the Nietzschianan admonition to 
the contrary notwithstanding), that really captures its significance.

Thanking you in advance, I am,

Allen
