Paris, 1933: three contemporaries meet over apricot cocktails at the Bec-de-Gaz bar on the rue Montparnasse. They are the young Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and longtime friend Raymond Aron, a fellow philosopher who raves to them about a new conceptual framework from Berlin called Phenomenology. “You see,” he says, “if you are a phenomenologist you can talk about this cocktail and make philosophy out of it!”
It was this simple phrase that would ignite a movement, inspiring Sartre to integrate Phenomenology into his own French, humanistic sensibility, thereby creating an entirely new philosophical approach inspired by themes of radical freedom, authentic being, and political activism. This movement would sweep through the jazz clubs and cafés of the Left Bank before making its way across the world as Existentialism.
Featuring not only philosophers, but also playwrights, anthropologists, convicts, and revolutionaries, At the Existentialist Café follows the existentialists’ story, from the first rebellious spark through the Second World War, to its role in postwar liberation movements such as anticolonialism, feminism, and gay rights. Interweaving biography and philosophy, it is the epic account of passionate encounters—fights, love affairs, mentorships, rebellions, and long partnerships—and a vital investigation into what the existentialists have to offer us today, at a moment when we are once again confronting the major questions of freedom, global responsibility, and human authenticity in a fractious and technology-driven world.
在这本《存在主义咖啡馆》认识了很多熟悉又陌生的名字,我拥有波伏瓦的《第二性》《女宾》,萨特的《存在与虚无》,却未拥有他们的思想,这些都被我放在书架最高处,未曾拜读。在读书圈里,这两个人物可以说是传奇和个性的象征,我知道却并不了解。哲学对我来说是一个高深莫测...
评分「思想很有趣,但人更有趣。」这是印在《存在主义咖啡馆》封面上的宣传语。 这几年大家都在寻找「有趣的灵魂」,但很多人似乎对「有趣」有什么误解,常常把「好笑」错当成「有趣」。饭桌上讲讲段子、抖音上跳跳舞虽然好笑,但距离「有趣的灵魂」还差很远。 存在主义者说,不要...

评分真正意义上的自由是什么。意味着我们承认自身存在的限制和枷锁。这是一种反认知的勇敢哲学
评分大型八卦集。 大一的时候看了好多加缪,但是从来没有接触过萨特波伏娃等人,借这本书走马观花介绍了一下,感觉好可怕…… You make your choices as though you were choosing on behalf of the whole of humanity / he is free, responsible, w/o excuse... 印象最深的是克尔凯郭尔的那个亚伯拉罕与伊萨的圣经解读。
评分有很多大时代背景,读起来不觉得晦涩,故事性很好的帮助理解。
