Folio Philosophy Club at Pike Place Market hosted by Jason Frederick Lambacher

Starting in August 2024, Jason has hosted a philosophy book club event at Folio, a non-profit literary & cultural center located in the Pike Place Market in Seattle. The group meets monthly to discuss philosophers examined in Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express. The club combines primary source readings (selected by Jason) with the “life lessons” explored by Weiner in each chapter. So far, the group has discussed Marcus Aurelius and Socrates, and will soon move on to Rousseau, Simone Weil, Simone De Beauvoir, Gandhi, Nietzche, Sei Shonagon, Confucius, and more. The age range of participants runs from 15 to 81, with most being in or near retirement. The club helps book group members reflect on how philosophy and ideas help to illuminate life’s experiences in a community of intellectual explorers.
