Written on the threshold of Thus Spoke Zarathustra during a high
point of social, intellectual and psychic vibrancy, The Joyful
Science (frequently translated as The Gay Science) is one of
Nietzsche's thematically tighter books. Here he debuts and
practices the art of amor fati, love of fate, to explore what is
"species preserving" in relation to happiness (Book One);
inspiration and the role of art as they keep us mentally fit for
inhabiting a world dominated by science (Book Two); the challenges
of living authentically and overcoming after the death of God (Book
Three); and the crescendo of life affirmation in which Nietzsche
revealed the doctrine of eternal recurrence and previewed the
figure of Zarathustra (Book Four). Invigorated and motivated by
Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche in 1887
added a new preface, an appendix of poems, and Book Five, where he
deepened the critique of science and displayed a more genealogical
approach. This volume provides the first English translation of the
Idylls from Messina and, more importantly, it includes the first
English translation of the notebooks of 1881-1882, in which
Nietzsche first formulated the eternal recurrence. Structurally and
stylistically, The Joyful Science remains Nietzsche's most
effective book of aphorisms, immediately after which he took on the
voice and alter ego of Zarathustra in order to push beyond the
boundaries of even the most liberating prose.
