CLARKE  \nProfessor ofPhilosophy at University College Cork  \nThe main objective of Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy is to expand the range, variety and quality of texts in the history of philosophy which are available in English. The series includes texts by familiar names (such as Descartes and Kant) and also by less well known authors. Wherever possible, texts are published in complete and unabridged form, and translations are specially commissioned for the series. Each volume contains a critical introduction together with a guide to further reading and any necessary glossaries and textual apparatus. The volumes are designed for student use at undergraduate and postgraduate level and will be of interest not only to students of philosophy, but also to a wider audience of readers in the history of science, the history of theology and the history of ideas.  \nFor a list oftitles published in the series, please see end ofbook.  \nFRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE  \nThe Gay Science  \nWith a Prelude in German Rhymes and an Appendix ofSongs  \nEDITED BY  \nBERNARD WILLIAMS  \nAll Souls College, Oxford  \nTRANSLATED BY  \n]OSEFINE NAUCKHOFF  \nWake Forest University  \nPOEMS TRANSLATED BY  \nADRIAN DEL CARO  \nUniversity o/Colorado at Boulder  \nCAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS  \nCAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRE SS Cambridge, New York, Melbourne, Madrid, Cape Town, Singapore, Sao Paulo  \nCambridge University Press  \nThe Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 8Ru, UK Published in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York  \n[www.cambridge.org](www.cambridge.org)  \nInformation on this [title: www.cambridge.org/9780521636452](title: www.cambridge.org/9780521636452)  \n;g Cambridge University Press 2001  \nThis publication is in copyright.
