About us
This group is for people with some background in philosophy who want to explore new ideas about human existence that focus on the concepts of consciousness and value as key to resolving the enigma of life. Yet everyone is welcome, interested inquirers, avid readers, outliers, undergraduates and professors of philosophy alike.

THIS WEEK: Nietzsche presented the future task of philosophers as the determination of “the order and rank among values”. But rank and hierarchy have given way to radical revision and questions of coherence. And a question of priority remains all the more crucial amongst hedonistic, aesthetic, ethical and other values. GE Moore defined intrinsic value by its ‘organic unity’. Sartre advocated freedom and choice. Can we determine the priority of values by such ‘internal’ criteria, or are values just subject to ‘external’ criteria like social or neurological influences? Reading: The Pursuit of Value, Ch. 2, Scn. ix.
