Notes

  1. 1.

    It could easily be argued that the origin of radical individualism lies not in Nietzsche but in the young Hegelian Max Stirner (see Sect. 1.2, p. 16).

  2. 2.

    On that example, see also Herzog (2009, 2016b).

  3. 3.

    In a similar manner, Ruiz Ruiz (2014) speaks of “hidden or silenced discourses” (p. 180).

  4. 4.

    As I point out in the cited works, I do not understand the pair inclusion/exclusion as binary and univocal but instead as gradual displacements.

  5. 5.

    Of course, this is a gross simplification of a complex historic process. In a real analysis of these processes, other structural discursive and non-discursive factors would have to be taken into account.
