Date: Sun, 27 Sep 1998 14:57:25 -0700 From: Brian Manning Delaney <b-delaneysubtractthis-AT-uchicago.edu> Subject: "Seven Solitudes" = ? Nietzsche often refers to the "seven solitudes." One place is in Section 309 of the Gay Science, "From the Seventh Solitude." Anyone know what he's referring to? Looking at the Nachlass (not all of it) hasn't helped me figure it out. Thanks, Brian. P.S. Sean: It's tragic that the market for humanities professorships is so grim that people who don't survive it (or decide not even to go to graduate school because it looks so competitive) develop such bitterness and resentment, as you clearly have. Best wishes in whatever job you've settled for. One can of course philosophize on the side, and achieve personal triumphs, even if one will never have enough time to be a good philosopher (and it is indeed time, more than talent).
