#Existentialism

Whew 😅…

I think philosophy is so tough for me because I‘m a consumptive reader; I‘m used to moving at a steady pace and when I dive into philosophy I‘m forced to slow down, to remind myself that these essays are not to be read once, but multiple times, to be discussed and dissected.

Anyway, despite its density, I‘m glad I read it. I‘ve had it for FOREVER having come across it in a library sale. It literally fell apart while reading it.

This just gave me a new existential crisis.

Portrays the significance of empathy, love and understanding for one‘s fellow man and other living beings, the importance of showing kindness when it isn‘t asked for. A prime example of how turning a blind eye for personal convenience and being indifferent is contingent in allowing evil to prevail, usually when nobody is looking or notices.

Pip2 None of us are certain of why we are here but if there is an afterlife, or even if there isn‘t, surely it is more beneficial to be kind and caring as opposed to indifferent as that can only lead to chaos and a sad world. 4mo

Manchester Arndale book haul!

The Camus is a decoy. I needed something to make me look high brow whilst buying a book about Tinder that I couldn't resist, haha 😅

Existentialism Is a Humanism | Jean-Paul Sartre

This little book is the translation of a famous speech Sartre gave (Paris, 1946) to further expound on his philosophy. I think it‘s perfect for anyone wanting an explanation of existentialism. I do not agree with this philosophy primarily because I think it underestimates the importance of the situation a person is born into. Nevertheless, it was an interesting read.

Essays in Aesthetics | Jean-Paul Sartre

One of my favourite things about autumn and winter is how all the design, colours and looks of everything become exactly suited to my taste 🥰 I love Pinterest boards, aesthetic videos, liking TikToks of random rich women making soups in their gorgeous houses. Making this Pinterest board is another item ticked off the bucket list 🎃

I want to make this only No Exit by Sartre. My book doesn't have other plays.
