one reason Hesse's figure Steppenwolf ("Harry Haller") could not have lived in academia, to which his studies might have lent him, is that he did not live -- by fate, choice, or need -- sub specie scientiae.
i.e. to try to apply it to life: whether one thinks inside the university or the universe, and whether one worries life and world as per their respective regents.
