Existentialism: The New God Creates His Own Nature (History of Modern Philosophy) (Remastered)

Tonight’s episode goes straight to the end of the modern road: **Existentialism the “new god” creating his own nature.** We start with **Marcel Duchamp**, who pushed the logic of “no meaning in the outer world” to its absurd conclusion turning junk into “art,” exhibiting a urinal as *Fountain*, and even abandoning language itself because you can’t create words without meaning. Then we move to the heavyweights: **Camus** and **Sartre**. Camus warns we’ve entered “the era of premeditation,” where philosophy can turn **murderers into judges** because once you deny transcendental judgment, you import total judgment into history (hello, totalitarianism). Sartre goes further: man has **existence without essence** no given nature, no law, no “good” or “evil” so man must *create himself*, yet ends trapped in a freedom-without-purpose, where even the difference between “getting drunk alone” and “leading nations” collapses. If you want to understand why modern culture drifts toward **nihilism, coercion, and even self-destruction**, this lecture connects the dots and shows why a mined-out philosophy can only be replaced by a new starting point. 🎙️🔥
