‘God is dead … but given the ways of men, perhaps for millennia to come there will be caves in which his shadow will be shown’Friedrich Nietzsche described The Joyous Science as a book of ‘exuberance, restlessness, contrariety and April showers’. A deeply personal and affirmative work, it straddles his middle and late periods and contains some of the most important ideas he would ever express in writing. Moving from a critique of conventional morality, the arts and modernity to an exhilarating doctrine of self-emancipation, this playful combination of aphorisms, poetry and prose is a treasure trove of philosophical insights, brought to new life in R. Kevin Hill’s clear, graceful translation. Translated and edited with an introduction and notes by R. Kevin Hill
