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.
