Summary
"[This book] mirrors all of Nietzsche's thought and could be related in hundreds of ways to his other books， his notes， and his letters。 And yet it is complete in itself。 For it is a work of art。" —Walter Kaufmann in the Introduction
Nietzsche called The Gay Science "the most personal of all my books。" It was here that he first proclaimed the death of God—to which a large part of the book is devoted—and his doctrine of the eternal recurrence。
Walter Kaufmann's commentary， with its many quotations from previously untranslated letters， brings to life Nietzsche as a human being and illuminates his philosophy。 The book contains some of Nietzsche's most sustained discussions of art and morality， knowledge and truth， the intellectual conscience and the origin of logic。
Most of the book was written just before Thus Spoke Zarathustra， the last part five years later， after Beyond Good and Evil。 We encounter Zarathustra in these pages as well as many of Nietzsche's most interesting philosophical ideas and the largest collection of his own poetry that he himself ever published。
Walter Kaufmann's English versions of Nietzsche represent one of the major translation enterprises of our time。 He is the first philosopher to have translated Nietzsche's major works， and never before has a single translator given us so much of Nietzsche。

Nietzsche est un auteur qui réussit à faire de nombreux adeptes de sa philosophie。 Je n'en suis pas un。 Il faut en prendre et en laisser。 Je reconnais toutefois qu'il est un grand penseur et que la lecture de ce dernier est essentielle。 Nietzsche est un auteur qui réussit à faire de nombreux adeptes de sa philosophie。 Je n'en suis pas un。 Il faut en prendre et en laisser。 Je reconnais toutefois qu'il est un grand penseur et que la lecture de ce dernier est essentielle。 。。。more

occorrono intere generazioni e generazioni di dotti impegnati in una collaborazione sistematica per esaurire i punti di vista e il materiale a questo proposito。 La stessa cosa è da dirsi quanto all'accertamento dei fondamenti della diversità del clima morale （«per quale ragione splende qui questo sole di un giudizio di fondo e di un capitale metro di valore della moralità， e laggiú invece quell'altro？»） Ed ancora un nuovo lavoro è quello che stabilisca l'erroneità di tutti questi fondamenti e l'essenza integrale del giudizio morale fino ad oggi。 Posto che siano effettuate tutte queste operazioni， comparirebbe in primo piano il piú scabroso di tutti i problemi: se la scienza， cioè， sia in grado di fornire obiettivi all'agire， una volta che essa ha dimostrato di poterli assumere e distruggere: e sarebbe allora il momento di uno sperimentare di cui potrebbe appagarsi ogni specie d'eroismo， un lungo sperimentare di secoli che potrebbe mettere in ombra tutte le grandi opere e i sacrifici della storia finora trascorsa。 Sino a oggi la scienza non ha ancora elevato le sue costruzioni ciclopiche。 verrà il tempo anche per questo！ 68。 Volontà e docilità。Un giovinetto fu condotto da un saggio， al quale fu detto: «Vedi， questo è uno che le donne stanno corrompendo！» L'uomo saggio scosse il capo e rise: «Sono gli uomini — esclamò — a corrompere le donne; e tutte le mancanze delle donne devono essere scontate ed emendate negli uomini， giacché l'uomo si crea l'immagine della donna e la donna si forma secondo questa immagine»。 «Sei troppo di manica larga con le donne disse uno degli astanti — tu non le conosci！»。 E l'uomo saggio rispose: «Volontà è la natura dell'uomo， docilità quella della donna: questa è la legge dei sessi， in verità una dura legge per la donna！ Gli uomini tutti non hanno colpa della loro esistenza， ma le donne sono doppiamente innocenti: chi potrebbe mai avere abbastanza olio e dolcezza per loro？» «Macché olio e dolcezza！ — esclamò un altro della folla — bisogna educarle meglio， le donne！» «Si deve educare meglio gli uomini»， — disse l'uomo saggio， e fece cenno al giovinetto di seguirlo。 Ma il giovinetto non lo segui。 203。 Hic niger estOrdinariamente non ha alcun pensiero ma in via eccezionale gli vengono cattivi pensieri。 301。 Illusione dei contemplativi。。。 Ciò che soltanto ha valore nel mondo attuale， non é che lo abbia in se stesso， secondo la sua natura （la natura è sempre priva di valore）: il fatto è invece che questo valore gli è stato dato， donato una volta， e noi fummo a dare e donare！ Soltanto noi abbiamo creato il mondo che in qualche modo interessa gli uomini。 Ma appunto questa consapevolezza ci fa difetto e se anche per un momento riusciamo a coglierla， subito dopo torniamo a dimenticarla: disconosciamo la nostra forza migliore e valutiamo noi stessi， i contemplativi， a un livello troppo esiguo — non siamo né cosi superbi né cosi felici come potremmo essere。 323。 Felicità nel destinoIl destino ci dimostra il massimo segno d'onore， quando ci ha fatto combattere per un certo tempo dalla parte dei nostri avversari。 Con ciò noi siamo predestinati a una grande vittoria。 。。。more

Writing about Nietzsche seems impossible as he touches many issues but only briefly， and whatever I could write would be quite inferior to the introduction by Bernard Williams anyway。 And yet here it is: I found both this book and Beyond Good and Evil great and inspiring。 I admire the most his ability to identify what he views as unfortunate outcomes of history， while at the same time sincerely praising their goods or their necessity for survival or at least their influential effect that can't b Writing about Nietzsche seems impossible as he touches many issues but only briefly， and whatever I could write would be quite inferior to the introduction by Bernard Williams anyway。 And yet here it is: I found both this book and Beyond Good and Evil great and inspiring。 I admire the most his ability to identify what he views as unfortunate outcomes of history， while at the same time sincerely praising their goods or their necessity for survival or at least their influential effect that can't be shaken even when revealed as falsehoods。 Christianity is a prime example of this; while it is clearly a fairy tale， its absence now or in the future will lead to a catastrophic nihilism because the need that gave birth to it， notably meaning， is hard to replace。 And yet it is not impossible; he views himself as a prophet who sees the endless possibilities of the death of God， an open ocean that presents infinite possible adventures and harbours。 At his best， his sense of history always reminds us its hold， but also the temporality of our ideals and our culture， and the endless possibilities that the future may hold。 His moral philosophy is also impressing。 While certainly individualistic （see Nehamas for this）， he also urges his readers to look inside their own selves to find their own principles， so perhaps a principle can be solidarity for someone。 As he writes: “I am no seeker。 I want to create for myself a sun of my own” （320）。 And this is not an empty platitude。 It stems again from the realization that the contingencies that happened to form each individual are different and one ought to consider them when they decide who they want to be， ideally being able to find a balance between them， a unity that respects all of them instead of choosing one of them to be guided by （277）。 If successful， then one would be willing to return and relive their life infinite times， accepting every single boring moment， every pain and every joy， as all these are intertwined and necessary for each other; this is how his "eternal recurrence" is usually interpreted。 He also really urges people to live and experience things and view their senses not as something inferior but， if not higher， at least equal to spirit。 Also， the unconscious is more important than the conscious。 And when it comes to his epistemology， he favours what he calls perspectivism。 Again， he realizes that each person has their own perspective and some times thinks that perspectives are all that can exist when we interact with reality。 To see what we posit as the world without our concepts is probably impossible or at least it is not possible to know if it is possible， so we are doomed to uncertainty。 This uncertainty， however， is what makes life worth living and a positivistic or mechanistic future would be nothing short of a dystopia。 Still， even this might come to pass， as the future can be literally anything。 One just needs to invent new language games or vocabularies or new names and even the most radical reversal can happen in the way that we perceive and experience and value the world。 And this is the greatest form of power。And two more inspiring quotes:«The thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions， as seeking explanations of something: to him， success and failure are primarily answers。 To be vexed or even to feel remorse because something goes wrong – he leaves that to those who act because they were ordered to do so and who expect a beating when his gracious lordship is not pleased with the result。»«Whoever enters here will pay me an honour; whoever does not – a pleasure。» （The best possible quote for a welcome mat）。 。。。more
