[close] In this monthly reading group, we discuss novels and short stories that rely less on plot and more on the description of sensations, extraordinary experiences and new modes of perceiving reality and relating to others. We are in interested in exploring themes like memory, the passing of time, identity, as well as the various consequences that certain encounters with otherness can bring to a life. We draw on the ideas of different philosophers (Deleuze, Nietzsche, etc.) to enrich our reading of the texts. HOW? Everyone is welcome to the discussion. The only requisite to participate is having read the novel beforehand, because discussions are on topic. Bring your thoughts, questions, and the passages you have underlined! WHERE? In DISCORD: Our online meeting will take place in Discord, so please make sure to join our Discord group beforehand! Here is the invitation to our group: https://discord.gg/DEcXZDgXZj

[close] Exploring Human Psychology and Philosophy through Classical Literature The Duality Dialogues is a book club dedicated to the deep exploration of human psychology and philosophy, primarily reflected in classical literature. Each period, we focus on a specific theme that delves into the complex nature of the human mind and soul. Our current theme examines the origins and understanding of goodness and evil, seeking to uncover how these concepts have been shaped through time. Through engaging discussions on timeless works, we aim to explore the profound questions that define the human experience—our capacity for both virtue and vice, the nature of morality, and how philosophical thought has evolved across different eras. Join us as we traverse the corridors of classical literature and unravel the depths of human psychology.
