Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
This lecture discusses the French Existentialist philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre's play, No Exit, and focuses on on one of the three main characters stuck together in the afterlife, Joseph Garcin, a newspaper man who claims that he was executed for desertion over his being a pacifist. He also cheated on his wife. As it turns out, he is actually at heart a coward. He also proposes solutions for the situation they find themselves in and says the famous line "hell is other people."
