While the [Walter Kaufmann translation](https://a.co/d/06pbQVOn) is preferred, a link to the free Cambridge translation is [here](https://www.academia.edu/70325665/Nietzsche_the_gay_science). **For this Meetup, we will read aphorisms 158-170,** and discuss them one at a time and get as far as we get, carrying forward any undiscussed aphorisms to the following week.

It’s 1882, and a friend has just given you a copy and recommendation of a book by a former professor of philology named Friedrich Nietzsche. Your friend says that he seems to be a philosopher of some sort, even though he doesn’t write like one, and in this book he argues, among a lot of other provocative things, that God Is dead!

This Is the beginner’s mind that this Meetup will take with this book. You may know his contemporaries and antecedents, but you’re here to share YOUR thoughts, not those of subsequent critics.
