When you’re partying during what feels like some pretty dark times, take inspiration from the French existentialists of the 1940s. “Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre spent a lot of time partying: talking, drinking, dancing, laughing, loving and listening to music with friends, and this was an aspect of their philosophical stance on life. They weren’t just philosophers who happened to enjoy parties, either – the parties were an expression of their philosophy of seizing life.” – Aeon Magazine
