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.
pickThis 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.
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.

so-soI gave up on this previously when I was at university as I felt I had grasped the existentialist concept and didn‘t need to read past the third of fourth bout of Roquetin‘s nausea. I definitely appreciated it more this time around and even found it quite humorous. Ultimately there isn‘t much plot and the characters are unlikable, but it is philosophically thought provoking. 6/10
I find great satisfaction in reading great works of literature and history for many reasons. Understanding of how we got to where we are in the world, in literature, in thought, are few of them. There are an infinite amount of pieces in the puzzle we call life and each new connection opens the possibility for more. Between life and reading gradually a picture forms which can essentially be called a “world view”.
