«La ciencia jovial» is the philosophical work by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (486 pages, in Spanish).
The work brings together aphorisms, poems and short essays in which the author examines morality, truth and knowledge, and questions the ideas inherited from tradition. Against pessimism, he proposes a vital attitude marked by joy, creativity and self-overcoming, and anticipates some of the central notions of his thought.
The work originally appeared in 1882; this Spanish edition was published in Barcelona in 2002.
Reference work for philosophy readers interested in nineteenth-century German thought and in Nietzsche's work.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
