Frequently quoted but often misunderstood, The Gay Science is one of Nietzsche's most important texts. Robert Miner offers the first full treatment of the book within the context of Nietzsche's turbulent life, and his other writings and explains why these are relevant for understanding the book. Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the text, Miner sets this book in historical and philosophical context and guides you through the text section-by-section. He also illuminates the difference between the original 1882 edition and the five additions to the book published in 1886 - the subtitle, new epigraph, new preface, 40 new sections comprising Book V and the new appendix of songs. You will find the main debates in the scholarship and deepen your understanding of the complexity of gay science which aspires to the deep link between disciplined thinking and joyful exhilaration.
