What is „NUN, SCHIFFLEIN! SIEH’ DICH VOR!“ – MEERFAHRT MIT NIETZSCHE.ZU EINEM MOTIV DER FRÖHLICHEN WISSENSCHAFT about?

The following essay argues that the Gay Science is structured through the imagery of a sea voyage. This imagery provides the dramaturgy for the development of the book's central themes. In its first part, the essay examines, with reference to Hans Blumenberg and Manfred Frank, the sea voyage as a topos for the description of the human condition, as it can be found particularly in the literature of the Romantic period. The essay then shows how Nietzsche uses the metaphor of the sea voyage to unfold the theme of the "death of God" and the figure of the "creator", to question the objectivity to scientific knowledge and to criticize the traditional concept of the subject. It finally discusses the two main strategies Nietzsche operates to overcome the Cartesian subject and characterizes them, with reference to Paul de Man and Michel Foucault, as 'rhetorical' and 'somatic'.
