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).
