Existentialism Is a Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre

informative reflective slow-paced

4.25

I had always heard of existentialism as a branch off of nihilism- Instead of life having no meaning, it is created through experience.

What Sartre posits in this lecture is quite informative as to what his view of this means. The existentialist notion of despair, abandonment (strictly the atheistic view of existentialism), and anguish are all laid out in brevity here with examples of what they mean.

If you are interested in phenomenology, this is a short but fairly dense read that has value.
