"Camus was a brilliant thinker and his works have had a lasting impact on philosophy and literature. Putterman's YouTube channel will feature discussions of Camus's works, including "The Stranger," "The Plague," and "The Myth of Sisyphus," and discuss the influence of Camus on modern philosophy, literature, and culture. I am excited to explore these ideas in my YouTube web series and to share them with a wider audience unfamiliar with this poorly understood philosophical tradition." The same is true of Jean-Paul Sartre and especially Albert Camus.
"Nietzsche’s ideas about morality, power, and the human condition are still relevant and can be used to help us understand our world today. "I'm excited to launch this YouTube channel and explore the life and works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, among others" said Putterman. Putterman will be joined by a variety of guests, including academics, authors, and artists, to discuss the implications of these ideas in the modern world. More broadly, the Existentialist Cafe will explore the ideas of some of the most influential philosophers of the past century, including Soren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir Albert Camus, and Martin Heidegger. Set in a smoke-filled Parisian cafe during World War Two, it will visit core themes and concepts emblematic of major French and German thinkers on existentialism in the nineteen forties. The channel will feature conversations about some of the world's leading thinkers on topics such as the meaning of life, the power of choice, and the nature of existence.
