A Life You Can Choose: Existentialism with Experts
By Ethan Ye
Categories: Society & Culture, Philosophy
Existentialism is the philosophy of our own lives. In each episode, host Ethan Ye invites a scholar to share insights on one existentialist idea in plain language. Three questions guide every conversation: what the idea is, why the philosopher held it, and what it means for us today. The series offers newcomers a clear point of entry and gives experienced readers fresh perspectives. Each season covers one existentialist philosopher. Season one begins where it should, with Søren Kierkegaard, widely regarded as the father of existentialism.
