History of Ideas Club (Live) | The French Existentialists
In this session of the Liberty series, hosted by Samuel Woodall and Jack Thomson from the Buckingham Political Thought Reading Club, we delve into the world of French existentialism. Join us as we explore the key ideas of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Albert Camus—examining concepts like radical freedom, bad faith, authenticity, and the absurd. The discussion also covers existentialism's intersections with feminism, post-colonialism, and political ethics.
Key texts discussed:
Sartre's Being and Nothingness
de Beauvoir's The Second Sex
Camus' Bread and Freedom
Engage with thought-provoking debates on the role of resistance, the foundations of society, and the existential quest for meaning.
