Sarah Bakewell was a teenage existentialist, having been swept off her feet by reading Sartre's Nausea, aged 16. She is the author of three biographies, including the bestselling How to Live: A Life of Montaigne, which won the Duff Cooper Prize for Non-Fiction and the National Books Critics Circle Award for Biography in the US, and was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award and the Marsh Biography Award.
Paris, near the turn of 1933. Three young friends meet over apricot cocktails at the Bec-de-Gaz bar on the rue Montparnasse. They are Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and their friend Raymond Aron, who opens their eyes to a radical new way of thinking. Pointing to his drink, he says, "You can make philosophy out of this cocktail!"
From this moment of inspiration, Sartre will create his own extraordinary philosophy of real, experienced life – of love and desire, of freedom and being, of cafés and waiters, of friendships and revolutionary fervour. It is a philosophy that will enthral Paris and sweep through the world, leaving its mark on post-war liberation movements, from the student uprisings of 1968 to civil rights pioneers.
At the Existentialist Café tells the story of modern existentialism as one of passionate encounters between people, minds and ideas. From the ‘king and queen of existentialism’ – Sartre and de Beauvoir – to their wider circle of friends and adversaries including Albert Camus, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Iris Murdoch, this book is an enjoyable and original journey through a captivating intellectual movement. Weaving biography and thought, Sarah Bakewell takes us to the heart of a philosophy about life that also changed lives, and that tackled the biggest questions of all: what we are and how we are to live.

作者说他年轻时只是痴迷于各种哲学思想而忽视了历史和人物故事,忽视了思想和历史、哲学家是如何交织在一起的。难不成就因此,作者就花费大量笔墨讲各种八卦?没有得到预期的,也没有意料之外的收获。
评分闲暇读物,看了一半
评分来看热闹,真的很好看。虽然八卦里还加入了作者自身的心得体验,倒也不讨厌。
评分很喜欢这版的封面设计。本以为会有“咖啡馆对谈”这样的脑洞部分,结果还是平实的叙述。作为通识读物看看20世纪著名哲学家们的八卦挺好。
评分存在主义的历史与八卦,真正谈哲学的篇幅少,主要的哲学观点插于故事之前,大概也正是如此才能坚持读下来吧
