Explore the ideas and personalities behind one of the twentieth century's most influential philosophical movements through Sarah Bakewell's At the Existentialist Café. Follow existentialism from its rebellious beginnings through World War II and its impact on anti-colonialism, feminism, and gay rights. Along the way, encounter philosophers, playwrights, revolutionaries, and other colorful figures whose lives were as compelling as their ideas. Through lively discussion, examine enduring questions of freedom, responsibility, authenticity, and what it means to live meaningfully in today's technology-driven world.
