Nietzsche, Nihilism and the Death of Meaning

Details

What happens when the old values no longer hold? When God is “dead,” and meaning feels out of reach? Join us for a philosophical deep dive into the radical, provocative, and often misunderstood ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche, the philosopher who stared into the abyss — and dared us to create new meaning from it.
This open discussion will explore:

  • Nihilism: What did Nietzsche mean by it and was he for or against it?
  • The Death of God: A cultural, not just religious, collapse
  • The Will to Power: A creative force for becoming
  • The Übermensch: An ideal of self-overcoming
  • Eternal Recurrence: Would you live your life again, exactly the same?

We’ll examine why Nietzsche believed that the crisis of meaning in modern life is both a danger and an opportunity — and ask what his thought can offer us today.
