In Episode 1 of Task C, your host Aleks walks Tom through a fundamental idea from 20th century existentialism – purpose. They look at a famous quote from Jean-Paul Sartre, who explained his work in ‘Being and Nothingness’ that “Man is a useless passion”. Contemplating Freedom and Free Will they talk about how to best use these ideas in your essays.
