Nietzsche at Night - A Twilight Reading of Twilight of the Idols

Hi folks!

In an effort to mix things up and start a separate series from the spiritual, traditionalist, reactionary one we've been navigating on Sundays, I figured it would be a fun exercise to drink a few coldies and dig through the oeuvre of der Antichrist himself, Friedrich Nietzsche. I don't reckon he needs an introduction, so moving along.

We'll be starting with his 1888 text Twilight of the Idols and reading the thing in its entirety. So, depending on your copy and translation, it should be around 100ish pages. It's nearly a month away - we got this.

I'll be reading the Penguin Classics edition, translated by R. J. Hollingdale, available here.
It's also available here as a free PDF.
Depending on how this initial group goes, Nietzsche's The Anti-Christ will be the second reading in this series, so we'll be able to use the same copy for both meet-ups.

As always, if you're unable to complete the book prior to our meeting, no worries - we're just happy to have you and welcome whatever insights, critiques, questions, etc., you may have based on what you were able to read.

We will be meeting at TALEA Beer Co.'s Taproom in Williamsburg (87 Richardson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211 - next to McCarren Park). This will be my first event here but there are plenty of picnic-style tables that should work well for our purposes. I'll let everyone know where to find us on the day of the discussion.

As always, this group is open to newcomers to Nietzsche, novices of philosophy, ragamuffins, ne'er-do-wells, urchins of all sorts, etc. However, given that this is at a brewery, it must be said - be cool and respectful. Please and thanks.

Alright, looking forward to it and reach out to me with any questions in the meantime.

See y'all then!
