Resource of the week: Philosophy Now

Paris, near the turn of 1933. Three young friends meet over apricot cocktails on the rue Montparnasse. They are Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and their friend Raymond Aron, who opens their eyes to a radical new way of thinking. Pointing to his drink, he says, "You can make philosophy out of this cocktail!" What comes next is an extraordinary story about the radical, controversial thinkers who animated European culture in the 1930s and 40s, and whose influence continues to be felt today. Told with energy and insight, this is brilliant introduction to the philosophers who shaped Europe before and after WWII.
