Ep. 52 - Am I An Existentialist?

Ep. 52 - Am I An Existentialist?

What does it truly mean to be an existentialist? To fully embrace the label, not just as an idea, but as a way of living. After everything we’ve explored on this podcast, what would it actually look like to let existential thought guide your life? And does such a thing even really exist?


In this week’s episode, I take on a question that’s been a long time coming as we try to uncover what it truly means to live existentially. Drawing on biographer Sarah Bakewell and her outline of existentialist tenets, we explore a label that is complex, contested, and often misunderstood, asking not only what we’d be signing up for, but whether we even want to.


Spoiler: it may be much harder to live by than we imagine.
