- Summary:
- Robert Miner attends closely to the rhymes and aphorisms that make up The Gay Science - and make it so quotable yet so frequently misunderstood. Tracking Nietzsches mixture of subtle argumentation, memorable images and provocative rhetoric, he opens up multiple ways of interpreting the text and applying it to our own circumstances.
