Review of 'At The Existentialist Café' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A book that tackles history, philosophy, politics, NICE STUFF! While also going through the lives of the thinkers at the time. Learned so much about phenomenology and existentialism and the dynamism of thought and thinkers and philosophy in an (almost) contemporary age. Learned about the 2nd World War, the post-war, the rise and fall of communism in western Europe, and honestly... the DRAMA between all the existentialists. What a bunch!
Unexpected MVP: Maurice Merleau-Ponty
