What does it mean to actually choose the life you’re living?
Our next PhilosophyTalks discussion takes us into Existentialism—a philosophy concerned with freedom, responsibility, meaning, choice, and the uncomfortable realization that nobody else can live your life for you.

Existentialism asks some deceptively simple questions:
Who am I?
What makes a life meaningful?
How much freedom do I really have?
What do I do when the world doesn’t give me the answers?

From Nietzsche and Sartre to Camus and beyond, existentialist thinkers wrestled with what it means to be human in a world that doesn’t necessarily come with instructions.

No existential dread required for attendance.

Come curious. Bring your questions. Bring your thoughts. Bring your own experience.
Because if meaning isn’t simply handed to us…
maybe the more interesting question is what we do with the freedom to create it.

Join us for PhilosophyTalks: Existentialism.

Come for the philosophy.

Stay for the conversation.
