Analyzing the importance of joy, laughter, and cheerfulness in
Nietzsche's thought, this volume addresses an under-examined topic
in the secondary literature. By exploring disparate aspects of
these interrelated emotions it provides new insights into his key
ideas. The contributors-among them philosophers and political
scientists-illustrate the significance of these feelings to reveal
political ramifications of their affirmative potential and their
broader role in Nietzsche's philosophical aims. These include how
the joyful disposition Nietzsche commends informs his free spirit's
self-overcoming, attempts to revalue all values, and prospects of
ultimately transfiguring humanity. Among other topics, scholars
assess the UEbermensch and shared joy, learning to laugh at
oneself, Schopenhauer's jokes, Pascal's cheerfulness, and the Dada
movement's subversively playful aesthetic. By contemplating
Nietzsche's emphasis on joy and laughter, the volume reveals a
thinker who, far from being a caricature of hopeless nihilism, is
in fact the hitherto unrecognised champion of an alternative
liberatory politics.
