Las gayas ciencias. Platón, Nietzsche, Ortega

Starting with Nietzsche, the theme of «game» occupies a central place in contemporary philosophical thought. Nietzsche’s reflection on the game also offers some points to reflect again on the Platonic. This is what Ortega y Gasset recognized, whose playful philosophy arises precisely from an attempt to reconcile the thought of Nietzsche and the philosophy of Plato. In this work, therefore, we attempt to reconstruct this game of symmetries and influences between the three authors, thus trying to delineate three different forms of a gay science.
