Existential Philosophy, Nietzsche, Suffering & Self-Awareness - Joe Folley (Video)
In this 31 July 2025 published Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Joe Folley, a philosopher, writer, and host of the Unsolicited Advice YouTube channel.
Philosophy has a way of finding us in one form or another, sometimes in a book, sometimes in a moment of crisis. Thinkers like Nietzsche and Camus have helped shape how we see life, death, and everything in between. But can these ideas truly help us live better, or are we just dressing up our confusion in big words?
Expect to learn why so many people are attracted to the idea of existential philosophy and why its so seductive and alluring, why we have an obsession with the idea of authenticity, the ideas and works of Nietzsche and his philosophy, if existentialism aligns with religion or if it is anti-God in nature, what the great philosophers like Camus believe about romance, if there is such a thing as too much reflection, and more.
