These include the death of God, the problem of nihilism, the role of truth, falsity and the will-to-truth in human life, the doctrine of the eternal recurrence, and the question of the proper attitude to adopt toward human suffering and toward human achievement. This volume presents the work in a new translation by Josefine Nauckhoff, with an introduction by Bernard Williams that elucidates the work's main themes and discusses their continuing philosophical importance.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eJoke, cunning and revenge: prelude in German rhymes\u003cbr\u003e Book one\u003cbr\u003e Book two\u003cbr\u003e Book three\u003cbr\u003e Book four: St Januarius\u003cbr\u003e Book five: we fearless ones\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: songs of Prince Vogelfrei.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of Western philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of Western philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20Western%20philosophy%20%5BHPC%5D%22\"\u003eHPC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46001407230232,"sku":"9780521631594","price":73.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521631594i_3f214a2d-55f7-4622-b7fc-26e2f8744037.jpg?v=1691379224","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/nietzsche-the-gay-science-with-a-prelude-in-german-rhymes-and-an-appendix-of-songs-hardback-9780521631594","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
