Thank you so much for making the show possible. Hope you love the episode. :)


Thinking of spending some more time on the existentialists. Let me know if you're interested!

Always love some more existentialism!

Cosmin

Always up for some existentialism!

Dom M

Always!

Mark Rende

That would be great!

Peter

I'm looking forward to this. I never heard of Cioran. Thanks Stephen!

Mike

I vote Hannah Arendt! But I'll settle for existentialists ;)

Sada Shiva

Thanks Stephen, always great to hear from you. And yes please, more Camus or are there others who've written about the Absurd?

Corpsejack

Yes more existentialists!

Ahmed M.

Hi Stephen! Another episode you hit out of the park, bravo! As many suggested, Camus would be great. I know you had covered him when looking at Satre, but I was left wanting from that series on Camus. Many thanks!

Diogo Silva

Well, thank you Stephen! I didn't know Cioran. And hearing these last two episodes made me understand that he is a must for me to read. Keep it going! always an amazing work to follow! Best regards

Peter Yurkosky

Yes, more on the Existentialists please. Your de Beavoir episodes prompted me to read The Ethics of Ambiguity (twice, actually -- it was that good), which then sent me down a Sartre rabbit hole. And I don't want to come out.

Vicky

Loved this! Yes, a couple more existentialists please.

Ben

I haven't listened to part 2 yet, but I'm currently obsessed with Camus so any more on the Existentialists sounds great to me

Mooky Cherian

Hell yeah, more existentialists please!

GMiller

Yes, some more existentialism please. Maybe something on varying streams or schools of existentialism.

Brandon DeWitt

Your episodes on de Beauvoir, Sartre, & Camus prepared and inspired me to make my journey through Ethics of Ambiguity, Nausea, & The Myth of Sisyphus. I very much appreciate your lucid, good humored concept discussions. Being and Nothingness is more difficult to wrestle with but listening to your show has made me more capable and willing to take on the challenge. More existentialist content would make me ecstatic. Your choices so far have helped amplify my freedom.

Steffen

More existentialism sounds good!

Cosmin

Small typo at min 17. You said that he left Romania to go to Bucharest, but that actually is the capital of Romania. He moved 2 times in his life: once to Bucharest, in 1928, and once more, in 1937, to Paris. Small typo, doesn't matter that much, loved the show!

Vance Hall

More existentialism please! I've gotten more than a few people hooked on philosophy by showing them your episodes on the existentialists.

Bill Barbour

Another vote for Camus! Also, I’m interested in reading Emile Cioran. Which book should I start with?

Doug Dee

I'll just vote for something about Spengler - Decline of the West.

Jason Davidoff

Thank you for this episode. I had never heard of Cioran, but you mad him sound so interesting I ordered 2 of his books, and another on the kindle so I could start reading immediately. If you know of anybody similar please introduce us to him too.

Sometimes I am resigned, sometimes I sincerely have faith, sometimes I seek entertainment (anime watching is very soothing) and sometimes I am in sheer despair. So I realized after listening to this episode that there can hardly be a single way to get by in life. A subtle mixture can be a pretty decent way.

Sara E. Robinson

If you believe that life has no meaning, how is it a "protest" to act as if life does have meaning?

Roman Gherta

Held one of his books in my hands once. It had a black cover with black font.

Ahmed M.

Hey Stephen! What about Lev Shestov? Seems like he is not very well known in the English world

Isako Yuasa

These two episodes on Emil were amazing! He's one of the most interesting existential philosophers. Thanks for covering him, it didn't seem like a straightforward task.

Diane Atkinson

Spot on. When I was going through severe post natal depression the decision to take my life was how I got through. I convinced myself I would do it, and instantly the worry about the future was eased, because there wasn't going to be a future. Then I could cope. And life went on to be happy and fulfilling, for a lot of the time
