Sartre + Love
Last time we explored Aristophanes' speech in Plato’s Symposium; in this episode, we will dig further into the nature of love : this time we’ll look closely at an excerpt from Jean Paul Sartre’s masterpiece, Being and Nothingness (L'Être et le Néant). In this text, Sartre tries to describe what a lover really expects from the person they love.
Food for thought + Footnotes:
- Jean Paul Sartre; existentialism
- "Everybody Loves My Baby", also known as "Everybody Loves My Baby, but My Baby Don't Love Nobody but Me", is a famous jazz song composed by Spencer Williams in 1924. Lyrics were written by Jack Palmer. - The version we site in this episode was performed by The Boswell Sisters 1932.
