i love this point that, you know, systems of ethics can't tell man what to do. Like there's no book that will give him the answer. Even if you know your moral theory could give you a really good sense of what to do, ther are still all these competing moral theories. And even when you ask advice from people, it's like, you know what you're going to get. No signs are vouchsafed in this world.
David and Tamler don black turtlenecks and light up a couple of Gauloises to talk about Jean Paul Sartre's classic essay “Existentialism is a Humanism.” Why are choices so fundamental to our experience? What does Sartre mean when he says that “existence precedes essence”? Why does he try to shoehorn universalizability into a view that’s clearly hostile to it?
Plus, how much free time is good for you? Is that even the right question?
