Yearbook No. 3 (2025)
Since the founding of the Prager Gruppe* in 2022, we have been preoccupied with one philosophical question in particular: What does it mean to philosophise as a group? Especially as a group that is not united in the strict sense by a common philosophical programme. For most positions, someone in the group takes the opposite view. Philosophising together then means above all: disputing. Where this disputing is something else than the ‘research community reduced to the sum of impact factors’ that ‘competes against itself in echo chambers of hollow theoretical trends’ – as our manifesto puts it – there may be an answer to the question of what it means to philosophise together.
We want to bring the diversity of this dispute – also with this latest issue of our yearbook – into the space between society and academia. As in previous issues, this issue contains essays, academic articles, aphorisms, interviews (which will now also be published here on our website) and artistic contributions in several languages.

Yearbook No. 2 (2024)
Already the second yearbook of the Prague Group! From the second edition onwards, there is a pattern, a regularity – which will hopefully develop into a tradition. Like the first edition of our yearbook, it is a collection of texts in various forms: Short essays, artistic contributions and academic essays are joined this time by an interview, an excursion into the depths of digital language models and a guest contribution by philosopher Mia Kaven, who is not active in the Prague Group.
With the yearbook, the Prager Gruppe* wants to establish a platform that does not see itself in opposition to the academy, but does not play by all its rules. This platform is open to alternative forms of thought and expression and aims to build a bridge between the academy and wider society.

Yearbook No. 1 (2023)
This first issue of the Prague Group Yearbook* brings together contributions of varying content and form. The framework is stretched between academic precision, aphoristic exaggeration, essayistic provocation, (self-)critical reflection, autobiographical truth and fiction as well as the attempt to enrich philosophy with the world and the human being. Sometimes orientated towards academic honesty, sometimes invoking calliope, the texts form a conglomeration that is as wide-ranging as philosophy itself.
