Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl

Viktor Frankl (1905–1997) was a Viennese psychiatrist who survived three years in Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, losing his parents, brother, and pregnant wife. Out of that experience came *Man's Search for Meaning* (1946), one of the most influential books of the 20th century.

Newer editions of the book contains several parts. We will read the main part of the book, called "Experiences in a concentration camp" and center the discussion around that. The other essays are not obligatory.

Stockholm Philosophy Study group is a group for thoughtful discussion on philosophical topics. Everyone is welcome regardless of previous philosophical experience, but we would like everyone you to read the text ahead of time as the conversation will revolve around it. This is a space were we learn from and listen to each other, our focus is on deliberation, not debate. If we are a large group, remember to leave room for everybody's voices to be heard. We read all sorts of philosophical texts, some are easier and some are difficult. If you don't understand everything, don't worry, we will make sense of it together. Our meetups are at a public café, so if you participate, please buy something from the café to support them.

Please note that this is a cross-post for an event being arranged via the Discord server. Discussion between meetups happens on Discord, and this group may be unmonitored. If you join the server you also get to vote on our coming readings, so please consider joining.

Hope to see you at the meetup!
