The Joyous Science

By Friedrich Nietzsche
Introduction by R. Kevin Hill
Edited and Translated by R. Kevin Hill

"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'. As 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.
