“Existentialist Insights for the Political Activist”

Professor Sanjay Lal  will discuss certain well-known aspects of existentialism (as that philosophy was expounded upon by Jean-Paul Sartre).   He will aim to show how the parts of existentialist philosophy he focuses on (specifically its emphasis on action, its understanding of the nature and value of freedom, and its conclusion that humans only seek the good) have great importance for how we should think about as well as engage in political activism.
