Kingston Philosophy Café

At 19:00 John Holroyd, author of Judging Religion: A Dialogue for Our Time, will give a talk on the life of French philosopher Jean-Paul Sarte, hosted by Hillcroft College.

Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre (21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic. He was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism and phenomenology, and one of the leading figures in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. His work has also influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies, and continues to influence these disciplines.
