In addition to writing, she now teaches in the Masters of Studies in Creative Writing at Kellogg College, University of Oxford. She lives in London.
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.

前阵子各种书评一直在安利,看了个开头真心一般……作者是有多爱刻薄萨特的长相(用你告诉我们吗……
评分作者搜集资料串成时间线的能力也太强了。苦于对于这些作者们和他们各自的观点不太了解,所以也只能大致看看,而没有和他们各自作品联系的“原来如此”的感悟。还有让我没想到的是原来萨特,波伏娃,海德格尔,加谬他们一系列人都在现实中同一个圈子内,老在一起玩。如果在未来可以对他们各自都有了解后再读一遍肯定会感觉不一样,毕竟认识的人的八卦永远比陌生人的八卦有趣的多。

评分读来颇有趣味的存在主义入门书籍 自由与责任同在的选择引导个体的演化 是决定存在的基准 不应以标签和定式为借口 或是归咎于外因 这样的主张与我当下的行事准则相近 想去读第一手书籍再深入了解一下 立场犀利也好温和也罢 哲学用于践行而并非止于头脑游戏 自然滋生出许多复杂而有趣的人物 下一步要列Sartre / Beauvoir / Merleau-Ponty / Iris Murdoch的书单!
