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.

The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Prussia in 1844. After the death of his father, a Lutheran minister, Nietzsche was raised from the age of five by his mother in a household of women. In 1869 he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel, where he taught until 1879 when poor health forced him to retire. He never recovered from a nervous breakdown in 1889 and died 11 years later. Known for saying that “god is dead,” Nietzsche propounded his metaphysical construct of the superiority of the disciplined individual (superman) living in the present over traditional values derived from Christianity and its emphasis on heavenly rewards. His ideas were appropriated by the Fascists, who turned his theories into social realities that he had never intended.

Human beings are pushed to chaos, and the only thing left will be nihilism. But nihilism is not the right way, what we are going to do is to destroy all the weariness and build a full new world which allows people act with their own free will. (展开)
Frederick Nietzsche can always talk things plainly and reasonably, which makes for great powers of persuasion, but this book includes many maxims that are not easy to understand because you can't guess what the author means from the context. Maxims in this ...

不懂德文的我只能退而求英文版了。連看了四本Kaufmann的翻譯，很通暢，從註腳中看得出來對尼采思想的用心鑽研。同時對照著看劉小楓主編的中文版，為的是能同時看法文版與德文版的註釋，能對比出兩國趣味的異同，及法德哲學界對尼采思想重點的取捨。又，讀中文版的尼采，跟讀天書沒有區對，語句夾生，錯譯連篇，務必遠離。
