Nietzsche adopts the provcial, plaspoken voice of a medieval poet The Gay Science. This terrogatn occupi the send half of The Gay Science. The Gay Science prents Nietzsche’s methods for healg society.

He wr:When the maxim, ‘The race is all, the dividual is nothg, ’ […] has rporated self to humany […] when accs stands open to everyone at all tim to this ultimate emancipatn and rponsibily […] [p]erhaps then lghter will have rned wh wisdom, perhaps then there will be only ‘gay science.

Also at play throughoutThe Gay Science is the artifice of knowledge.

THE GAY SCIENCE BOOK 3 SUMMARY

Summary Books i–iv of the gay science were published 1882. This is the faiar Nietzsche: the ‘aristocratic dividualist’ who, ncerned only for the flourishg of the exceptnal type, tak society – the ‘herd’ – to be at bt a footstool for, and at worst a ser impediment to, the flourishg of a creative this were the whole story about The Gay Science – if all Nietzsche valued was the masterful dividual hammerg society's ‘idols’ to smhereens the terts of ‘dog his own thg’ – then relign, as a society-bondg ‘fetter’, uld be expected to appear as nothg but an opprsive force and as such a prime target for nstctn. ‘Antichrist’ would then be the long and the short of The Gay Science's philosophy of relign.

The Gay Science marks the transn om Nietzsche’s posivist middle works to the mature philosophy for which he is bt known. But is not jt this posn Nietzsche’s rp that distguish The Gay Science.

In addn, The Gay Science is the only work that Nietzsche expand signifintly s send edn. While other books received a new preface or foreword, or were bed to a sgle volume later edns, the first edn of The Gay Science was expand through the addn of the entire fifth book and the appendix.

When Nietzsche asks whether there uld be such a thg as ‘gay science’, and suggts we might want or even need such a practice, he is llg to qutn the tradnal picture of philosophil activy and suggtg an alternative. While ’s clear om readg any of Nietzsche’s philosophil wrgs that he is not tryg to be straightforwardly ‘scientific’ – and that his methods and aspiratns differ radilly om both the system-buildg of neteenth-century German ialism and the ‘rigoro science’ of early twentieth-century phenomenology – his reasons for wrg as he do are on display most clearly The Gay Science. I will beg by nsirg Nietzsche’s notn of gay science self, and this discsn will shape the mentary on the five books of The Gay Science that follows.

I hope that my treatment of some central them will serve as a mol for the rear’s own engagement wh great diversy of styl, subjects and qutns that nstute The Gay Science. What is gay science?

THE GAY SCIENCE

Or is anythg lighthearted and gay necsarily ivolo – a mere diversn om the ser bs of pursug the tth? The qutns lie at the heart of The Gay Science. The rigour, foc, and precisn we associate wh ‘science’ (and which a German would associate even more strongly wh ‘Wissenschaft’) would seem to exclu om the realm of science any activy marked by the lightheartedns, merry-makg, or jnts suggted by the German term translated as ‘gay’ – ‘öhlich’.

NIETZSCHE'S THE GAY SCIENCE: AN INTRODUCTNNIETZSCHE'S THE GAY SCIENCE: AN INTRODUCTNNIETZSCHE'S THE GAY SCIENCE: AN INTRODUCTNNIETZSCHE'S THE GAY SCIENCE: AN INTRODUCTNNIETZSCHE'S THE GAY SCIENCE: AN INTRODUCTN

Acrdg to Nietzsche, most philosophers are prejudiced agast the very ia of a gay science: ‘ “Where lghter and gaiety are found, thkg is good for nothg” – that is the prejudice of [a] ser beast agast all “gay science”. The most direct way to prove that this is so is to produce somethg that is both lighthearted and unniably philosophil, and this is what Nietzsche sets out to do The Gay Science, which is th both about philosophil methodology and, one hop, an stance of a novel philosophil activy. It is up to the rear to evaluate whether Nietzsche’s experiment is a succs, but orr to facilate this evaluatn I will note a few potential benefs of a gay philosophy.

THE GAY SCIENCE BOOK 1 SUMMARY

Gay wrg uld put this state.

There are many qutns The Gay Science, and most of them are hont qutns posed to as rears, not riddl to be solved by producg Nietzsche’s preferred answer ( this way, the book rembl Wtgenste’s Philosophil Invtigatns). Nietzsche’s characterizatn of gay science as a ‘saturnalia’ of the md (GS P: 1) pots to a third benef. Jt as the Roman ftival of Saturnalia exhibed the ntgency of social mor by temporarily permtg their vlatn, the rnivalque spir of The Gay Science stands opposed to the view of ‘morali and religns’ (scribed GS 1) that our practic are ground timels, thorative norms that are pennt of culture and history.

THE GAY SCIENCE SUMMARY

Throughout The Gay Science, we are told that the playful reterpretatn and rebatn of realy characteristic of the productn of art n facilate our pursu of tth by providg wh novel perspectiv on phenomena that tert .

If gay science has the benefs, then is arguably the bt sort of philosophy. Jt after announcg yet aga his own preference for gay science, he attacks Hobb for havg (allegedly) said that ‘lghg is a bad firmy of human nature, which every thkg md will strive to overe’, and Nietzsche postulat opposn ‘an orr of rank among philosophers pendg on the rank of their lghter’ (BGE 294). That lghter, tthfulns and wisdom are tertwed and terpennt is a central theme of The Gay Science.

THE GAY SCIENCE BOOK 4 SUMMARY

The first sectn of The Gay Science begs on a ser note by postulatg a sgle end beneath the diversy of human enavours: ‘to do what benefs the prervatn of the human race’ (GS 1). The Gay Science serv as the startg pot for the projects sofar as provis ncrete exampl of how theoretil reason (GS 111) and our altistic practil tennci (GS 116–19) were shaped by evolutnary forc.

In the send edn of The Gay Science, Nietzsche will intify the will to power as the most fundamental character of life – the will of a livg beg nsired merely as such (GS 349).

THERE IS NO ‘GAY GENE.’ THERE IS NO ‘STRAIGHT GENE.’ SEXUALY IS JT PLEX, STUDY NFIRMS

Nietzsche answers this qutn directly by shiftg his foc to the activy he most strongly associat wh a gay attu towards ourselv and our liv, namely the arts.

But is art’s abily to create new ‘thgs’ by playfully renfigurg realy as we know that is sential to Nietzsche’s articulatn of a gay science.

The Gay Science tak a ser turn the fal sectn of Book 2, entled ‘Our ultimate gratu to art’. While Book 5 of The Gay Science ntas some tertg reflectns on the psimistic posn of The Birth of Tragedy (see GS 357, 370), Nietzsche has left behd much of the theoretil apparat of that work – the Schopenherian metaphysics, the talk of two opposed driv – and at the same time expand his acunt of how a person might take an athetic stance towards herself and her life.

NIETZSCHE'S THE GAY SCIENCE

Nietzsche suggts (probably speakg om personal experience – see Ecce Homo) that illns facilat the acquisn of knowledge and self-knowledge that is nstutive of the virtue of some persons.

THE GAY SCIENCE; WH A PRELU RHYM AND AN APPENDIX OF SONGS

The activy of gay science is self an excellent example of seeg as betiful some aspect of our existence that is both necsary and difficult to affirm.

I will set asi this issue and simply ntrast Schopenher’s valuatn wh that of the philosopher who practic gay science. In this way, engagg gay science is part of Nietzsche’s project of affirmg what is necsary thgs.
