Existentialism

[close] Inspired by 'Reading Lolita in Tehran' of Azar Nafisi (check it!!), 'Reading Lolita in NL' is a book club with political, philosophic (mostly existentialist struggles), humanist and feminist nuances, but extends to all great books of humanity that deserve to be read before they burn in a fire, or before our retinas stop working. With all that said, we celebrate the liberating power of books, we share ideas, and we open our minds to books that we would have never tried before .

[close] This book club was originally sponsored by Changing Hands Books in Tempe, AZ. It has been meeting monthly in person since 2009 but has recently moved to Zoom.

[close] This is the group is intended for anyone interested in philosophy. It is just starting, but when I searched the public groups, I didn't find anything like this. I intend to take polls on what we will be reading in the future and never to dwell on one topic extensively but cover a broad amount of philosophy. I don't want this to be overly time consuming group, and I would like to direct it more toward those who want a bit of side reading, discussion, and social interaction with other philosophers but perhaps will have a number of books going at once to offer more variety. I'll try to set up a system of discussion on topics as well as readings.

[close] read and discuss books regarding a wide range of topics in keeping with current societal discussions and debates.
