Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:29:06
Abstract
In this reading group we deal intensively with Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy. We analyze topics such as morality, power and criticism of science based on jointly selected works. The aim is to explore philosophical approaches and their influence on modernity to understand and critically reflect on culture and science.
Objective
In our reading group we focus on an in-depth examination of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy. By jointly selecting and analyzing his works, we particulary focus on central themes such as morality, power and criticism of science. Our goal is to develop and discuss Nietzsche's philosophical approaches in collective discussions. We strive to jointly reflect and critically question the influence of his ideas on modern culture and science. This cooperative approach not only promotes the understanding of Nietzsche's work, but also the creative development and deepening of one's own thoughts and interpretations within the group.
