Comic relief Nietzsche’s Gay science


Free Download Comic relief : Nietzsche’s Gay science By Higgins, Kathleen Marie; Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm
2000 | 249 Pages | ISBN: 0195126912 | PDF | 17 MB
This book offers a lively and unorthodox analysis of Nietzsche by examining a neglected aspect of his scholarly personality–his sense of humor. While often thought of as ponderous and melancholy, the Nietzsche of Higgins’s study is a surprisingly subtle and light-hearted writer. She presents a close reading of The Gay Science to show how the numerous literary risks that Nietzsche takes reveal humor to be central to his project. Higgins argues that his use of humor is intended to dislodge readers from their usual, somber detachment and to incite imaginative thinking

Nietzsche on Freedom and Autonomy


Free Download Nietzsche on Freedom and Autonomy By Ken Gemes; Simon May
2011 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0199694680 | EPUB | 3 MB
The principal aim of this volume is to elucidate what freedom, sovereignty, and autonomy mean for Nietzsche and what philosophical resources he gives us to re-think these crucial concepts. A related aim is to examine how Nietzsche connects these concepts to his thoughts about life-affirmation, self-love, promise-making, agency, the ‘will to nothingness’, and the ‘eternal recurrence’, as well as to his search for a ‘genealogical’ understanding of morality. These twelve essays by leading Nietzsche scholars ask such key questions as: Can we reconcile his rejection of free will with his positive invocations of the notion of free will? How does Nietzsche’s celebration of freedom and free spirits sit with his claim that we all have an unchangeable fate? What is the relation between his concepts of freedom and self-overcoming? The depth in which these and related issues are explored gives this volume its value, not only to those interested in Nietzsche, but to all who are concerned with the free will debate, ethics, theory of action, and the history of philosophy.

Nietzsche, Freud, Benn, and the Azure Spell of Liguria (German and European Studies)


Free Download Martina Kolb, "Nietzsche, Freud, Benn, and the Azure Spell of Liguria (German and European Studies)"
English | 2013 | pages: 280 | ISBN: 1442643293, 1487558260 | PDF | 3,9 mb
The Mediterranean region of Liguria, where the Maritime Alps sweep down to the coasts of northwest Italy and southeast France, the Riviera, marks the intersection of two of Europe’s major cultural landscapes. Remote, liminal, compact, and steep, the terrain has influenced many international authors and artists. In this study, Martina Kolb traces Liguria’s specific impact on the works of three seminal German-writing modernists – Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Gottfried Benn – whose encounters with Ligurian lands and seas led to an innovative geopoetic fusion of word and world.

Nietzsche’s Gay Science


Free Download Robert Miner, "Nietzsche’s Gay Science "
English | ISBN: 1474457703 | 2021 | 264 pages | PDF | 3 MB
From philosophy undergraduates showing off in murky bars to Chidi’s unforgettable monologue in TV sensation The Good Place, The Gay Science is one Nietzsche’s most-quotable texts. But what do those soundbites actually mean? Robert Miner attends closely to the rhymes and aphorisms that make up Nietzsche’s The Gay Science – and make it so appealing yet so frequently misunderstood. Tracking Nietzsche’s mixture of subtle argumentation, memorable images and provocative rhetoric, Miner opens up multiple ways of interpreting the text and applying it to our own circumstances. Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche, Miner begins with the 1882 edition – the first to announce the ‘death of God’, amor fati and eternal recurrence. He also illuminates the significance of Nietzsche’s decision to publish a second edition of The Gay Science in 1887, with a fifth book, 40 aphorisms composed after Zarathustra, a new preface and an appendix of songs.
