Abstract

This text postulates something fundamental for understanding thought in its radicality, namely, there are certain material conditions in the very place where one lives that allow and make it possible for a thinker to think what he or she thinks. And in the case of Nietzsche one cannot understand his abysmal thought of the eternal return without the author's experience in Sils Maria and its surroundings. It was in those places and with his own ghosts, such as Lou Salome's, that he was able to express that radicality of the real as a finite other that constitutes us because it touches us in our own body.
