Yunw: I think the attack on existentialism, that it's super self indulgent and valueless is, again, im repeating myself. He didn't need to say it if what he wants to do is somehow ground decision making in a way that's not utterly selfish. Yunw: It seems like the exact right place to defend some sort of particularism or, you know, pluralism without negating values like, like, those that he had the chance right there to make. Ye, no, i choose to to ignore his universal liability point.
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?
