Intro
This special episode is dedicated to Ms. Lise van Boxel, Nietzsche
scholar and our former Tutor at St. John's College. As we traced back in
memory her teachings and personal qualities, we found that intellectual
heritage came in a form distinct from the intellect, and life was
breathed at moments unnoticed. Perhaps at this special time a
commemoration suggests fewer things than a conversation, which is
endearing and "poly-thropos" enough to recall less of our loss, but more
The episode is conducted in Mandarin Chinese.
