Live Like an Existentialist Week

Over the next seven days you will be putting some of Beauvoir’s and Fanon’s views of the good life into practice. On each day of the week you will be assigned a particular activity to complete. 

All of the philosophical exercises for this week are located on this page and you will need to complete them daily. This will consist of two steps:

1. At the start of each day in the morning, you should read the assigned exercises and carry them out—you can keep this assignment open on your phone throughout the day for easy access.
2. At the end of each day in the evening, you should submit in the designated dropbox a short private journal entry (1-2 paragraphs) on what you’ve learned.

Class periods and dialogue sessions that occur during this week will involve discussing and working on your exercises individually or in groups.
