Summary:

This book tells several stories: from Alexius Meinong’s life up to his university years, stories about the social, political and cultural environment where he grew up, stories that he tells in his oeuvre—the story of Arnold of Brescia, of the Jesuit order, of education in Austria and moments of Austrian history in the 19th century. This book is about history, politics, religion and education, and it is about ‘that arch-plague nationalism which has poisoned the flower of our European culture’ (Stefan Zweig, The World of Yesterday ).
