Ep. 52 - Am I An Existentialist?

from The Absurd World Podcast Hosted by The Absurd World Podcast

What does it truly mean to be an existentialist? To fully embrace the label, not just as an idea, but as a way of living. After everything we’ve explored on this podcast, what would it actually look like to let existential thought guide your life? And does such a thing even really exist? In this week’s episode, I take on a question that’s been a long time coming as we try to uncover what it truly means to live existentially. Drawing on biographer Sarah Bakewell and her outline of existentialist tenets, we explore a label that is complex, contested, and often misunderstood, asking not only what we’d be signing up for, but whether we even want to. Spoiler: it may be much harder to live by than we imagine.
