Friedrich Nietzsche's Gay Science has only given us a glimpse of what Nietzsche has to offer. By integrating its teachings into high school classrooms and becoming a standard high school curriculum, it can truly benefit and further enrich a young student's education. Babette E. Babich discusses Nietzsche's style in her article "Self-Deconstruction: Nietzsche's Philosophy as Style." In her article, she states that “Nietzsche's style grants neither the casual reader nor the frequent commentator automatic access to the text” (Babich 105). From what Babich says here, she is trying to convey to her audience that Nietzsche's work poses a challenge for the reader to digest. She goes on to explain how: “Nietzsche’s style is neither convoluted nor obscure. However, because of its great variety, Nietzsche's style is elusive, and it is a truism that Nietzsche is difficult to read” (Babich 105). Babich describes how Nietzsche's style is a bit more analytical, because the way Nietzsche writes forces the reader to really understand his work while knowing that it can be difficult to read. Kathleen Higgins further discusses Nietzsche's writing style in her article "Nietzsche's Nursery Rhymes." » She begins by saying that “Despite this wide recognition of Nietzsche as an attentive stylist…this opens up The Gay Science” (Higgins 397). Higgins attempts to explain that the style of rhymes that open The Gay Science should be valued rather than ignored. Finally, she states, “Nietzsche’s exploitation of popular formats illuminates how they manipulate our consciousness” (Higgins 400). She confirms here to what extent Nietzsche's writing almost gives us a feeling of strength in terms of constructing our consciousness when reading his works.In another...... middle of paper.....
