In the final part of this Open Books series, Pamela Hellig and Emile Stipp reflect on existentialism, war, and the search for meaning.

Drawing on powerful literary works and historical context, Emile explores how human beings respond to suffering, uncertainty, and a seemingly meaningless world — and how meaning is ultimately something we must create for ourselves.

From the writings of Jean-Paul Sartre to the poetry of Wilfred Owen, this episode brings the conversation full circle — from AI and logic to the deeply human experience of living.
