Back at the cafe

I feel disjointed from jumping back in. There was a short story on how Sartre and Beauvoir got along for so many years. Husserl's unpublished work being transported to safety when they were in the brink of war and borders could mean entering enemy lines. The thought of chance saving a piece of work that preserves another world is amazing. I just don't know if I was pulled in enough by their singular stories. I don't know why.

Coffee ☕️ with #sartre #simonedebeauvoir #camus As the latest famously said : " Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee ☕️?" But then , #sartre said: "Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.", and my girl #simonedebeauvoir brightens my day: "It is in the knowledge of the genuine conditions of our lives that we must draw our strength to live and our reasons for living." ❤ #reading #existentialism #sarahbakewell #attheexistentialistcafe

Heidegger conforms

I thought after chapter 3 Heidegger becomes this pivotal character, the one to make the final push to put existentialism on the map. In a way he did choose a map and it was Nazi Germany. The war and the socialist movement took over him. His allegiance to the Hitler severed his ties with Husserl, Jasper(a friend/student), and others who had respected his philosophical pursuits until 1933. Once it became apparent his thinking was to support the socialist movement, he became dangerous to all of them. He would never be seen the same, or his work have the same essence knowing it came from a man of his convictions.
