What we’re about
Unlike other philosophies named after individuals, Stoicism takes its name from a place—the Stoa, where people gathered to discuss life’s deepest questions. This makes Stoicism uniquely accessible to all—a philosophy not confined to scholars but open to everyone, just as it was in ancient times.
Now, centuries later, we continue this tradition. 📖 No homework, no pressure—just open minds and engaging discussion. Let’s explore resilience, virtue, and practical philosophy together. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

NB: THIS IS A DUPLICATE LISTING FROM ANOTHER MEETUP PAGE - PHILOSOPHY FIGHT CLUB
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.
