NIETZSCHE'S THE GAY SCIENCE

Nietzsche's alln to the 'Provenl' the tle (and echoed the subtle) of <The Gay Science> vok the troubadour’s art (or 'technic') of poetic song, an art at once secret, anonymo and th nonsubjective, but also cludg logil disputatn, for which is the mol, and prisg, perhaps above all, the important ial of actn (and pathos) at a distance: l’amour lota.

Beyond the Provençal character and atmosphere of the troubadour, Nietzsche’s nceptn of a joyful science, Nietzsche's 'gay' science also adumbrat a crique of science unrstood as the llective ial of scholarship, cludg classil philology as much as logic, mathematics, and physics. Seen om this perspective, Nietzsche's "gay" science ploys this “science” on his own behalf, takg this as far as the nsummate promise of his troubadour’s (even Catharist) ial of self-overg. Nietzsche's The Gay Science (1882/1887) is a eply personal book, yet also an important work of philosophy.

It surveys Nietzsche's philosophy as a whole, explas the pivotal place of The Gay Science as the source of his ial of tragic joy, and shows how he reviv an ancient nceptn of philosophy as a way of life and the philosopher as physician.
