Nietzsche's The Gay Science (1882/1887) is a deeply personal book,
yet also an important work of philosophy. Nietzsche conceives it as
a philosophical autobiography, a record of his own
self-transformation. In beautifully composed aphorisms he
communicates his central experience of overcoming pessimism and
recovering the capacity to affirm joyfully the tragedy of life. On
the basis of his experiments in living, Nietzsche articulates his
most famous philosophical concepts and images: the death of God,
the exercise of eternal recurrence, and the ideal of
self-fashioning. This book explains the ancient and modern
philosophical contexts that shape Nietzsche's central concern with
the affirmation of life. It surveys Nietzsche's philosophy as a
whole, explains the pivotal place of The Gay Science as the source
of his ideal of tragic joy, and shows how he revives an ancient
conception of philosophy as a way of life and the philosopher as
physician.
