Rainer Maria Rilke | The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge | Existentialist Philosophy & Literature

support my Video Work - study Existentialism with me - In this lecture, we look at the great Existentialist poet, Ranier Maria Rilke’s, only novel, “The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge“. We explore several of the main themes of the work: the meaning of one’s own life, the purpose of writing, childhood and adulthood, time, death, God, emotion, and love. We finish where Rilke does, with his reworking on the Gospel parable of the prodigal son.
