A Cocktail That Changed Philosophy
What happens when three young philosophers walk into a Parisian bar and order apricot cocktails? In 1932, that seemingly mundane moment sparked a philosophical revolution. Raymond Aron, fresh from Berlin, excitedly described phenomenology to Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir: "If you are a phenomenologist, you can talk about this cocktail and make philosophy out of it!" Sartre reportedly turned pale with excitement. Within weeks, he'd devoured Edmund Husserl's work and arranged his own trip to Berlin. This conversation birthed existentialism-a philosophy rejecting abstract theories for lived experience, one that would dominate intellectual life for decades and fundamentally reshape how we understand freedom, authenticity, and what it means to be human. By the late 1940s, existentialism had become a cultural phenomenon. Sartre's 1945 lecture drew such crowds that women fainted in the heat. The Catholic Church banned his works while Marxists attacked his emphasis on individual freedom. Yet condemnation only enhanced existentialism's appeal among the young, who adopted black turtlenecks and gathered in Left Bank cafes, treating philosophy not as academic exercise but as a way of life.
