Ep. 60 (Existentialism and Roe vs. Wade?!)

In this episode, we talk philosophy! You have probably heard people say something like "you choose who you are," "you choose your destiny," "only YOU can become YOU," or "there are only laws and values because they are accepted as beneficial by society." This episode will explore such ideas by looking at some of the basic tenants of Jean-Paul Sartre's Existentialism: anxiety, despair, nothingness, absurdity, value, and freedom. As such, we will discuss the origins of said phrasings and ways of thinking and their implications. But the title has the famous Roe Vs. Wade trial in it? “What does that have to do with a highly nuanced word such as Existentialism?” you might be asking yourself. Tune into this episode to find out the relationship we draw between Roe Vs. Wade and Existentialism! Support the show
