Epilogue: The “Gay Science” in Our Time
摘要
The epilogue examines the continued relevance of Nietzsche’s Gay Science, highlighting its radical affirmation of life, its ironic tone, and its challenge to modern rationalism. In an age of disillusionment and instrumental reason, Nietzsche’s aesthetic philosophy offers a joyful alternative rooted in creativity, irony, and multiplicity. Artistic creation is not escapism but confrontation—a mode of self-realization and philosophical renewal. The epilogue calls for a renewed engagement with existence through the lens of the artist-philosopher, who embraces contradiction, fluidity, and the perpetual task of becoming.
