The Joyful Wisdom ("La Gaya Scienza")

"The Joyful Wisdom («La Gaya Scienza»)" by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is judged to be one of Nietzsche's best books. It is also one of his most popular and most well-loved. In it, the usually pessimistic poetic philosopher lets a bit of optimism come into his words. His viewpoint lightens and he becomes more accessible to the common reader who wishes to broaden their horizons without feeling as though the world is ending.
