Sobre nosotros
This is a study group, or book club if you will, for the thoughtful reading and discussion of the great classic literature in philosophy, psychology, sociology and related areas throughout history.
Each event will have a syllabus of reading that should be done before the event, and the participants are expected to have done the reading and prepared for a discussion.
Depending on the members in the group, we can branch out into related topics and/or media forms.
The event will be free of charge and are not affiliated with any organization. The place can vary, but will likely be at some café of choice. In order to have good discussion while giving everyone the time and space to talk, we prefer the discussion groups to be a maximum of 10 people. If an event has more attendees, we'll split into smaller sub-groups.
That said, we are here to have fun and any guideline can be changed if we want it to!
Note
Currently, the organisation of this group, as well as member discussions, happens on Discord. Join us there using this link if you'd like to participate.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche. Part 2.
ilcaffè, Södermannagatan 23, Stockholm, SEThus Spoke Zarathustra, Part 2
Thus Spoke Zarathustra, published in the 1880s, is Nietzsche’s most famous and most unusual work. Blending poetry, parable, and sermon-like speeches, the book explores themes such as self-overcoming, the creation of personal meaning, the idea of the “Übermensch”, and the famous proclamation that “God is dead.”
In the book Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic and free. By leaving God behind, Nietzsche enters us into a new and modern age where each of us must find our own meaning.
We will read the book across 2 meetups, this second meetup will focus on part 3 and 4 of Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The book can be found via the link below. Please note that the translation is from the early 1900s, so getting a modern translation from your library or bookshop may help your reading experience.

Stockholm Philosophy Study group is a group for thoughtful discussion on philosophical topics. Everyone is welcome regardless of previous philosophical experience, but we would like everyone you to read the text ahead of time as the conversation will revolve around it. This is a space were we learn from and listen to each other, our focus is on deliberation, not debate. If we are a large group, remember to leave room for everybody's voices to be heard. We read all sorts of philosophical texts, some are easier and some are difficult. If you don't understand everything, don't worry, we will make sense of it together.
If you want to chat with us between meetups, please join the Discord server. If you join the server you also get to vote on our coming readings, so please consider joining.
Hope to see you at the meetup!
