At the Existentialist Cafe by Sarah Bakewell
At the Existentialist Café explores modern existentialism as a story of encounters between ideas and between people – from the ‘king and queen of existentialism’ (Sartre and Beauvoir) to their wider circle of friends, followers and adversaries, including Albert Camus, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Iris Murdoch and many more. Weaving biography and philosophy, it investigates a philosophy that concerned life, but that also changed lives – and that tackled the biggest questions of all: what we are and how we are to live.

Margit Shildrick
Shildrick is a versatile researcher with background in literature, bioethics, and poststructuralist philosophy. Drawing on the poststructuralism of both Derrida and Deleuze, as well as the major feminist theorists like Butler and Grosz, Shildrick’s research interests vary widely from interdisciplinary gender studies and feminist theory, to postconventional bioethics, phenomenology, posthumanities, science and technology studies, critical disability studies, prosthetic theory, and psychoanalysis. Her classic Leaky Bodies and Boundaries is a poststructuralist feminist analysis on the female body that literally ‘leaks’ is not valorised within the Western discourse. She argues that the very ‘leakiness’ should be the foundation for a feminist ethic.
