"Life is nothing until it is lived; but it is yours to make sense of, and the value of it is nothing else but the sense that you choose."
Synopsis.
This transcript lecture is directed towards sceptics of Existentialism. Within it, Sartre outlines the misconceptions of the philosophical movement, including its tendency towards pessimism, and illuminates how Existentialism is not only optimistic, but emancipating, after a period of theological philososophies.
Praise.
Sartre clearly laid out the principles of Existentialism, focussing on subjectivity and humanism. His speech, almost one-hundred years later, is as useful as it was then, and he successfully brings the academic down "to the market," for the everyday consumer while maintaining philosophical accuracy.
The introduction was similarly helpful, giving an overview of the Existentialist movement, starting with Kierkegaard and moving down through phenomenology and, eventually, Sartre.
In Conclusion.
This was a short and brilliant introduction to the philosophical movement, preparing any future student or interested reader for French Existentialism!

All of the good parts of Sartre with none of the bad. An existentialist's capstone
