How Existence Tricks You into Submission
Update: 2025-09-17
Description
Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre is an intense dive into the raw experience of realizing life may not have inherent meaning. Through the diary of the drifting historian Antoine Roquentin, we see how isolation, random encounters, and even casual love affairs fail to shelter him from a creeping dread he calls nausea. Where does existential freedom begin, and what is our moral duty once we accept that existence simply is? This video explores those pressing questions, using the novel’s characters and Sartre’s own experiences to illuminate why he believed humans must craft their own stories.
