About us
Philosophy Café in Rochester, NY is a group that reads philosophy texts and meets to discuss them.
All are welcome! Our meetings are open to “beginners” and “experts,” alike. No prior experience with philosophy is required or expected. If you have an interest in philosophy, we’d love for you to join us!
We meet on the second Saturday of each month at 11:15 a.m., unless indicated otherwise.
A typical meeting starts with a short, general introduction of the topic and the readings, and then we break into small groups (3-5 people) to discuss. At some point, we re-mix the small groups so we each get to talk with and hear from different people. And at the end, we sometimes bring everyone back together as a big group to share observations that came out of the small group discussions.

Reading Freud
University of Rochester - Warner School of Education and Human Development, 500 Wilson Blvd, Rochester, NY 14627, Rochester, NY, USHi Folks,
Welcome to our Freud reading group. This group will be facilitated by myself and other graduate students studying this material.
For this group we require attendees to read the papers in advance in order to attend. To participate please also join our Reading Freud mailing list here:
https://groups.google.com/g/readingfreud/For this event we will be reading select excerpts from Freud, as compiled by Peter Gay in "The Freud Reader", beginning in the section "Making of a Psychoanalyst", available here which includes the following listed below.
- Preface to the Translation of Bernheim’s Suggestion (pp. 45–48) - Here we read Freud's preface to Bernheim's book "Suggestion", where Freud argues why hypnosis and suggestion are legitimate therapeutic tools.
- Draft B: The Aetiology of the Neuroses (pp. 55–60) - Here Freud talks about two psychological disorders, neurasthenia (similar to chronic fatigue) and anxiety and his proposal that their origins are due to sex.
- Anna O. (pp. 61–78) - Here we read Freud's famous case conceptualization based on Breuer's patient Anna O, which shows how hysteria can be resolved by catharsis with talk therapy.
- Katharina (pp. 79–86) - Another famous case. Freud shows us how his patient's anxiety stems from repressed sexual trauma.
I look forward to seeing you there!
