We could all use a good laugh in these times of global pandemic and political fragility. This sparkling set of essays reveals Nietzsche to be a witty practitioner and analyst of comic art who opens up possibilities for a 'joyful science' of public life and politics. --Gary Shapiro, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Richmond, USA This fine collection explores Nietzsche's idea of life affirmation, not in abstract terms, but with concrete dispositions of joy, laughter, and cheerfulness, which are also applied to political life broadly construed. Pursuit of this under-examined element of Nietzsche's philosophy is a significant contribution to the literature. Highly recommended. --Lawrence J. Hatab, Louis I. Jaffe Professor of Philosophy, Old Dominion University, USA
