Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche (week 5)
*Thus Spoke Zarathustra* is a masterpiece of philosophy, literature, and poetic expression, offering one of the most radical critiques of morality, religion, and human existence. Written between 1883 and 1885, this work follows the fictional prophet Zarathustra as he descends from his solitude in the mountains to share his revolutionary teachings with humanity. Through allegorical storytelling, Nietzsche explores profound philosophical concepts such as the Übermensch (Overman), the eternal recurrence, the will to power, and the death of God.

From the publisher:
In the tradition of The Arabian Nights, a beautifully illustrated tapestry of folk tales and myths about the secret legacy of female storytellers in an imagined medieval world.
In the Empire of Migdal Bavel, Cherry is married to Jerome, a wicked man who makes a diabolical wager with his friend Manfred: if Manfred can seduce Cherry in one hundred nights, he can have his castle — and Cherry.
But what Jerome doesn’t know is that Cherry is in love with her maid Hero. The two women hatch a plan: Hero, a member of the League of Secret Story Tellers, will distract Manfred by regaling him with a mesmerizing tale each night for 100 nights, keeping him at bay. Those tales are beautifully depicted here, touching on themes of love and betrayal and loyalty and madness.
As intricate and richly imagined as the works of Chris Ware, and leavened with a dry wit that rivals Kate Beaton’s in *Hark! A Vagrant*, Isabel Greenberg’s *One Hundred Nights of Hero* will capture readers’ hearts and minds, taking them through a magical medieval world.

Nietzsche @ Night - Balking Brightness via "The Birth of Tragedy"
My friends,
If you had told me seven Nietzsche at Night's ago that we would one day be at our seventh Nietzsche at Night, I would've said **this makes complete sense**, that these events are a smash hit, that all attendees await them in anticipation with gnawed fingernails, anxiously crossing off calendar boxes or carving tallies into the cell-walls of their confines. That it has at last come, this seventh iteration of an infinity of glorious iterations, unsurprising as it may be, still warrants celebration. So, in jubilation and with a love of the fate that destined us to arrive here, we rewind the Nietzschean trajectory to the very beginning, to the birth of both tragedy and our great friend Friedrich himself.
In short, for **Nietzsche @ Night 7**, we will be reading Nietzsche's **first** philosophical text, 1872's **The Birth of Tragedy: Out of the Spirit of Music.**
For this reading, we will be reading, digesting, and yapping about **the text in its entirety**. So, if you're reading the [Shaun Whiteside translation from Penguin Classics](https://www.amazon.com/Birth-Tragedy-Spirit-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140433392) like I intend to, this will be around 118 pages. If this feels insurmountable, ask yourself what the Übermensch would do.
That said, there are a number of free PDFs available online with a variety of translations online:
Here is [Wm. A. Haussmann's translation via the Internet Archive](https://ia800602.us.archive.org/32/items/birthoftragedyor00niet/birthoftragedyor00niet.pdf). I've only linked the PDF but other formats are available [here](https://archive.org/details/birthoftragedyor00niet). Here is another version of the same translation via [Project Gutenberg](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/51356/51356-h/51356-h.htm).
[Here is another free copy](https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Nietzsche-The-Birth-of-Tragedy.pdf) translated by Ian Johnston via Holybooks.com.
I will be providing a glossary of terms and concepts prior to the meeting so I will update attendees with this file prior to the meeting to be used as a reference.
We will be meeting at **TALEA Beer Co.'s Taproom** in **Williamsburg** (87 Richardson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211 - next to McCarren Park). 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. **All** **insights are encouraged**, just be somewhat sensible and all the way cool. Ain't no fun to be found in nodding your head along with a thinker for a hundred pages - strive to disagree with decency
Looking forward starting at the beginning with all of you N@N'ers,
Hamp

Decline of the West, Volume Two - Oswald Spengler | Part 1, Reading & Discussion
**Alright folks.**
This will be the first edition in our exploration of **Oswald Spengler**'s 1922 follow-up to 1918's **The Decline of the West: Form & Actuality -** from henceforth, **Perspectives of World-History** will be our primary concern.
Behind us are the lengthy considerations of Rembrandt's *studio-brown*, the deliberations on varieties of *garden-art*, the confusion surrounding hatred of *plein-air*, the bickering over the Renaissance as a *revolt* of plastic poseurs, the vague definitions of *pseudomorphosis*, the designation of the Apollonian as a *world-fearing faction* of fumbling body-obsessed buffoons. Certainly this is behind us. It must be. How could it not be.
For this initial session, we will be reading **Chapter** **1: Origin and Landscape - A. The Cosmic & the Microcosm, Chapter 2: Origin and Landscape - B. The Group of the Higher Cultures,** and **Chapter 3: Origin and Landscape - C. The Relations Between the Cultures.** If you're reading the [Arktos Edition](https://arktos.com/product/the-decline-of-the-west-vol-2/) (which I recommend everyone do), this will be around **105 pages**.
Here is a **free PDF** version of the text: [Ta-da. ](https://antilogicalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/decline_of_the_west.pdf) Volume 2 starts on page 461 of the PDF.
It's the same translation from Charles Francis Atkinson across the board so, ultimately, it does not matter whether you proceed via the PDF or the printed copy from Arktos or [any of the other sellers on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Decline-West-Vol-Perspectives-World-History/dp/1954357028/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=185081184903&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.icBBi9LUpwlcoYuXOUMXniuRhm3JQb9EiUodwYV5-mjkANodMP3chfmC-h9OyITH6yAnkaQWgNkNMzMrJMrbmY6izWVcoawc7czQKhOlQ8ZjWLZGqADjOwCzNo6TY6Cj6LST-XWIIPRO7e4b4QrXMqffDoRWWNvXCCfBeWb3FUqjNChx6Qgehc3jqigZvJwvKTvkdWN5jzwaTq2DKdGl0eHluCf3GaE9xmGT8AQs2KE.NAt6t6yBXuaGJuuwg6Nd_4F3PdhD51HUfKBkTuFvmvs&dib_tag=se&hvadid=779584060288&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9004356&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=12829350875909913604--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=12829350875909913604&hvtargid=kwd-608314370083&hydadcr=8293_13544394_9880&keywords=the+decline+of+the+west+volume+2&mcid=593dc69cab493f17a4ad1444788ad34a&qid=1769404505&sr=8-1). Work with whatever works with you.
As always, if you're unable to complete the reading prior to our meeting, no worries - it's dense and semi-lengthy, so 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. That said, given that this is the second volume of a \~1300 page text, at least bother to read the Wikipedia before deciding to come yap with us.
For those who have missed the first five sessions, I've been working needlessly hard on compiling a (currently) 100-page **Spenglerian glossary** that provides definitions for most of what has been covered so far. I'll provide an updated version closer to the meeting, but in the meantime, you can access it here: [link link link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AP0gdBbXUWI0yyatT75AcAwcKxkR2d3a/view?usp=drive_link). Let me know if you have issues.
We will be meeting in the **Ace Hotel lobby** on **W 29th**. There is coffee, breakfast, and booze. Message me the day of if you can't find us. We usually sit toward the back of the lobby next to the bar.
As always, this group is open to newcomers to Spengler, novices of philosophy, history, aesthetics, etc., ragamuffins, ne'er-do-wells, urchins of all sorts, etc. **All** **insights are encouraged**, just be somewhat sensible and all the way cool. Ain't no fun to be found in nodding your head along with a thinker for a hundred pages - strive to disagree, with decency.
Alright, looking forward to it - again, reach out to me with any questions or concerns in the meantime.
Looking forward,
Hamp

The Sacred and The Profane by Mircea Eliade (week 1)
In this groundbreaking work, Mircea Eliade challenges the modern assumption that we live in a wholly secular world. He argues that even contemporary people remain shaped by deep, often unconscious patterns rooted in the experience of the sacred. Through a wide-ranging analysis of sacred space, time, myth, nature, and cosmic symbolism, Eliade examines how these structures organized human experience for pre-modern cultures and how they persist today.
**Join us to discuss this classic book over the course of 4-weeks!**
