The Twenty-Seven Lenses

8. Existential

Read how this lens works

Kierkegaard · Tillich · Camus · May

The readings follow the same through-line order used throughout the system, making it possible to compare what this lens changes from one idea to the next.

10. Endings that do not beg

Sartre’s radical freedom — choosing without seeking external validation.

13. Honesty about state taking precedence over the fitting response

Sartre’s bad-faith refusal.

16. Ambivalence as a stance — both/and rather than either/or

Beauvoir’s ambiguity.
