On life and living: with Sartre to the future
To what extent are we condemned to freedom? Where does personal responsibility end, where does it begin? And what significance does the existence of others have in this context? On the basis of the life and work of Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) as a formative intellectual of the European post-war period, Michel Friedman undertakes a foray into key questions of our present in dialogue with Wolfram Eilenberger. Whether free will or global responsibility, authenticity fetish, gender discourse or the role of the intellectual in the public sphere – since Sartre and Beauvoir, our cultural coordinates have never been the same. And with them, the parameters of passionate philosophy: Can one still be an existentialist today? And if not, what would a truly self-determined life look like in a world of ten billion people?
