Editor’s Preface

Defacing Eternal Re-Coming

 

Notes

1 In conversation with Graham Parkes, we entertained his idea to consider using “re-coming” for Wiederkunft instead of “recurrence.” And the more I think on it, the more I appreciate it. I have invited Parkes to write something for Comparative and Continental Philosophy on this topic.

2 I have been somewhat imaginative with this quote but not without some justification. The German reads “Damit habe ich dich, Nihilist! Das Sitzfleisch ist gerade die Sünde wider den heiligen Geist. Nur die ergangenen Gedanken haben Werth.” Sitzfleisch has two meanings. One meaning refers directly to the buttocks and the second meaning refers to one’s ability to sit patiently for long periods of time.
