We examine Sartre’s distinction between being-in-itself and being-for-itself, his concept of bad faith, and the ethical consequences of "existence precedes essence."🔹 Simone de Beauvoir – The Second Sex How does one become a woman? We discuss De Beauvoir’s challenge to gender essentialism, her application of existentialist ideas to women’s oppression, and her argument for economic independence as a path to liberation.🔹 Albert Camus – Bread and Freedom Can economic justice exist without political freedom? We explore Camus’ critique of capitalism and totalitarianism, his vision of revolt, and how Bread and Freedom fits within his philosophy of the absurd.Join us as we question what it means to live authentically in an indifferent world.🎧 Listen now on Beyond the Text.
