Nietzsche Reading Group

The Nietzsche Reading Group (NRG) is open to any student interested in the work and thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as secondary literature within Nietzsche studies.

**Note the change of time and location: while the NRG shall meet monthly again this FA24 term, meetings will instead be held from 8:00pm–9:00pm at CaliTea (4549 Pacific Coast Highway) near the Long Beach traffic circle. The group is organized by Joe Gordon; please e-mail him if you have any questions about participation or would like further details.
