Underground Philosophy: Nietzsche

Underground Philosophy: Nietzsche

Nietzsche is, without doubt, one of the most powerful writers in the modern era of philosophy. Wild, incisive, enlightening, mad and sobering. He is one to learn from, over and again. Yet also one who must, I think, be engaged without following blindly -- one whose word ought not be taken as the word.

This will not be a lecture on Nietzsche. In the spirit of Underground Philosophy, core Nietzschean ideas will be opened for dialogue, and together we will move with what comes through for the group, and develop our understanding in the process.

On Thursday October 15th, Underground Philosophy returns..

Underground Philosophy is where spectators become participants. Experience live philosophy where audience members have the opportunity to ask questions, contribute to the field of meaning, and participate in conversations that venture through the ideas shaping our time.

How this works...

At Underground Philosophy, we sit before a small stage in the vault beneath Caz Reitop's. Members of the audience, guests, and members of Voicecraft Network will rotate places in dialogue on stage, facilitated by the host on the evening. When you book your ticket, you will be asked to select whether you're open to joining an open-minded, open hearted conversation.

The dialogue on stage is filmed, sometimes shared on the YT channel, but mostly kept private for those in the room.

RUNTIME

• 5.30 - Doors (Gather upstairs in the cocktail lounge)

• 6.00 - Start (take your seats at 5.50pm downstairs in the Vault)

• 8.00 - Event End

• 8.00 - Onwards: Optional speakeasy upstairs in the cocktail lounge. (There's a separate standup comedy event downstairs at 8.30.)

Guiding this collective inquiry is Tim Adalin, supported by members of The Voicecraft Network. He will be joined by regular contributors to Voicecraft and Underground Philosophy Jurnee Manu, Cam Duffy, and Taryn Ossowski.

About Underground Philosophy

Through altered states of conversation, Underground Philosophy connects Melbourne’s thinkers, artists, and seekers. Here we resist the capture of algorithms and dissociating ideology. When we come to Underground Philosophy, we come to connect and experience thinking you can feel—philosophy with soul. In so doing, we contribute to a field of attention that seeks to support a deeper integrity to civic discourse.
