Hey T.Man,
I am just reading about Sarte, very new to it all.
Here's what I'm listening to:
http://www.teach12.com/ttcx/coursede...tual%20History

The author stated Sarte wrote 20 pages a day for 60+ years.
One of the main ideas i took away is how our reactions to our emotions is a choice we make. We can't use 'emotion' as an excuse for why we behaved or reacted a certain way.

The prof is going over Sarte's novel Nausea. I haven't read it, nor have I read anything by Sarte. Truthfully, i'm being a bit cautious wading into a bunch of existentialism theory. It can be somewhat dour, with lots of focus on the futility of it all.
But i'm exploring it from the outside, seeing if i'll follow up on it.

Have you read anything by him?
