Abstract

In his lectures on the future of German educational institutions, Nietzsche 
recognizes a triple impossibility: (i) the impossibility of philosophy, (ii) the 
impossibility of art, and (iii) the impossibility of true religion (ie, philology). 
This impossibility stems from the democratic structure of the institutions, which cannot be reconciled with their aristocratic origin. The problem nevertheless provides an opportunity for the historical-thinking (a) question about the meaning of education, (b) the question about the meaning of people and (c) the 
question about the meaning of language.
