Who We Are
A public-interest community that reconstructs new relations of production through the integration of knowledge learning, theoretical critique, and social praxis.
Our History
Founded on February 2, 2023, Sinthome is a public-interest community that reconstructs new relations of production through the integration of knowledge learning, theoretical critique, and social praxis (Knowledge—Critique—Praxis).
We employ philosophy and psychoanalysis as tools of critique, turning academic knowledge into social practice. Sinthome is committed to creating opportunities for solidarity among all progressives, while advancing experiments and explorations at both economic and public-interest levels.
Our Platform
Sinthome has evolved into an incubator-style public benefit platform that encourages members to apply critical theory to broader social domains, exploring new possibilities for production methods and social relations.

Our Philosophy
These projects, while exploring different practical domains, all stem from S.R.T.P.'s critical spirit and knowledge-practice methodology. They are not independent of each other, but together form an organic whole of Sinthome's knowledge-critique-practice.
Through combining theoretical critique and social practice, Sinthome is committed to rebuilding practical links between intellectuals and the working class, establishing experimental practice networks across multiple dimensions including labor, production, population reproduction, social relations, and knowledge production.
From its beginnings as a reading group, Sinthome's development embodies a process of starting from knowledge and nurturing multiple practical paths through theoretical learning and critique. Today, Sinthome is not only a center for knowledge learning and theoretical critique, but has also become an experimental public platform for exploring new production relations and reconstructing social practice.
