1. Introduction
	A protolanguage of space as concentric and diametric space
	Space and a life principle
	Notes
	References
2. Features of the spatial protolanguage of concentric and diametric space
	Concentric and diametric space as a protolanguage of relation: beyond space as a shadow text
	Diametric and concentric projected spatial structures of relation: assumed separation and assumed connection
	Diametric space as mirror image inversion and its relation with concentric space
	Third entailment of the relative differences between
concentric and diametric spaces: foreground–background
interaction versus noninteraction
	Gestalt figure–ground spatial relations as a variant of
diametric space
	Notes
	References
3. Compassion and space
	The reduction of Schopenhauer’s distinctive concept of
compassion to egoism: a debate resting on primordial spatial
assumptions of concentric and diametric space
	Compassion as concentric projected spatial structures of
relation in contrast to egoism as diametric space – a spatial
protolanguage of connection and the thick partition of
separation
	Diametric space as illusion and obstacle
	Compassion within the determinism of the empirical world: background conditions of space
	Compassion: a different kind of rationality
	Foreground–background interaction
	Notes
	References
4. Rapture and space
	Rapture as an experiential expansion in Dionysian music:
tentative Nietzschean steps towards concentric space as
opened boundaries in his gloss on Schopenhauer’s principium
individuationis
	The issue of crossing in experience from foreground to
background space: a protolanguage of monism, concentric
spatial relation and diametric spatial opposition
	The prerepresentative mode of music as a concentric spatial dimension restructuring experience
	Critique of Heidegger’s interpretation of Nietzsche’s rapture
	Conclusion
	Notes
	References
5. The spatial background between Dionysian and Apollonian myths
	A prior spatial protolanguage in Nietzsche’s Dionysus–Apollo
relation as an optic of life: diametric space as figure–ground
contrasts and monism that lacks an inclusion principle
	Promissory notes towards a concentric spatial relation? A transformational relation short of dissolving
	The void
	Hermeneutic approaches in a spatial-phenomenological reading of Nietzsche
	Notes
	References
6. Power and space
	Nietzsche’s will to power as a diametric spatial inversion of a life principle
	Will to power as splitting through a diametric spatial movement
	The mirror image inversion of diametric space as a spatial process of turning: a reversal of life towards destruction
	Diametric space in the historical myth of Dionysus
	Will to power: hemiplegia of the connective will
	Notes
	References
7. Space as freedom in experience
	Differing Dionysian visions and conceptions of bounded freedom in Nietzsche’s work
	Beyond reevaluation of values to restructuring habits of
emotion and experience: an emergent vision of ‘freedom for’
	Notes
	References
8. Space as movement: eternal recurrence beyond homogenous time
	Eternal recurrence as concentric space interacting with the diametric space of will to power
	The relationship between eternal recurrence and will to power in primordial spatial terms
	Taylor’s carnival inversion as a diametric mirror image space
for play: search for a life principle prior to a homogenous
space as monism
	Vertical interplay between concentric and diametric space as
eternal recurrence includes a horizontal movement towards
flattened homogenous space as monism for experience of
time
	Notes
	References
9. Space prior to metaphor
	Other key entailments of the multidimensional contrasts
between diametric and concentric primordial spaces:
inverted symmetry/symmetry as unity, closure/openness
	Ricoeur’s objections to Heidegger’s critique of the
metaphysical within the metaphorical and to Jakobson’s
selection-combination binarism: issues for the proposed
spatial discourse of concentric and diametric structures of
relation
	Beyond metaphor to concentric and diametric space as a
system of meaning prior to language as protolanguage
	Notes
	References
10. Space and internalisation of the other
	A living spatial movement of relation – reconceptualising
life in spatial terms in Ricoeur’s Oneself as another via
Heidegger’s Being and Time
	Beyond Lévi-Strauss’ structuralism to the interplay
between diametric and concentric spaces as pure spatial
movement in Heidegger’s Being and Time
	Care and conatus, Angst and suffering
	Diametric space as assumed separation and closure: a discourse anticipated by Ricoeur
