Deconstruction

[close] one of the most asked questions we get is "do you have any recommendations for _______" and so now here we are--a compiled list of all of the books that we have either read, or have heard through the grape vine that gives a pretty holistic and well-thought out approach to whatever topic you're interested in. take each book with a grain of salt, as we hope you do with most things, but we hope these books can open your mind to a world of grace, love and deeper/different perspective on life and the Spirit. We love you all and hope this too can be a space for discussion and more community!

[close] We live in an incredibly rich time for philosophy. In the shadow of the 20th Century, certain thinkers still loom large, while new writers and new movements continue to develop before our eyes. From biopower to speculative realism, Agamben to Zizek, this group is dedicated to all things current. Professors, students, philosophers, and the everyday inquisitive are all welcome to join and discuss what is happening at the vanguard of philosophical thought.

[close] Conversations surrounding racism, fascism, and history. With the goal to learn, build community, and hold ourselves accountable.

[close] There are probably few theoretical writers (already problematic) that have put forward a range of texts that are ridiculously challenging and difficult to read while simultaneously bringing excitement and original invaluable insights to the reader. During my readings as a student I discovered Jacques Derrida as one of these rare geniuses. This group is intended to provide people interested in the work of Derrida with a platform to exchange ideas, organize read-alongs, enjoy mutual difficulties and failures to understand and embrace the beauty of dissemination and deconstruction (without saying that there are only enjoyable sides to deconstruction).
