| Summary: | In France, philosophy is as much a part of the national character as soccer is in Britain. In this program, contemporary philosophers Anthony Grayling, Catherine Audard, and Andy Leak discuss the history of existentialism, from the 19th century to the 1960s, with a special emphasis on Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. Readings from Sartre's Nausea and Camus' The Outsider are included, as well as commentary on the terms "bad faith" and "the absurd." An existential soccer match adds a touch of metaphysical humor.
