12: Existentialism: Franz Kafka, The Trial

Update: 2025-02-11

Description

In this episode we dive into Franz Kafka’s The Trial through an existentialist lens, exploring its themes of absurdity, guilt and alienation. Drawing from existentialist philosophy, we examine how Joseph K.’s struggle against an opaque and indifferent legal system mirrors the existential crisis of modern man caught between the illusion of meaning and the terrifying weight of freedom.
