Beginning the EuroPhilosophy Tour

Hello it’s Dasein The Philosopher here and I hope everyone is doing well! To keep everyone posted, I am currently in the Vancouver airport, waiting for my flight to London, which is the first stop on my PhilosophyEurope Tour (or the EuroPhilo Tour for short). I am excited to be living out my dream of traveling the world to pursue my dreams of working as a traveling philosopher! As some of you may know, I will be visiting the graves of about 27 dead philosophers that have influenced my own philosophical thought. The reason I am doing this is because I believe that we live in a time that the meaning of life has already been solved for us, which can be simplified as such: existence precedes essence, existence is suffering and therefore, suffering precedes essence (it is important to mention that this idea is very, very, VERY OLD and I am not the originator of this idea). In other words, once you know that which is worth suffering for, and you know exactly what to do, then there is no long a need to question the meaning of life and it becomes very clear to what exactly an individual must do.

I believe that this is a fundamental truth, part of philosophia prima. Yet as a philosopher, I must symbolically continue to hit this idea with a hammer to see how solid this truth can be. In simpler terms, what if this idea is NOT a fundamental truth? It seems that this Truth contains enough space for individual subjectivity and intersubjectivity, yet still remains pragmatic enough for all individuals. It also highlights the privilege that we have in the Western world, in the fact that we have inherited a reality where others before us have already figured out and articulated a meta-blueprint (that encompasses all specific blueprints) towards living a meaningful life. However, to return to the why behind the part of my EuroPhilo tour where I will be visiting the graves of famous philosophers, one question remains: how do we die a meaningful death?

That will be the question that I will be repeatedly meditating on while spending time at the graves of the dead philosophers. However, this tour will not just consist of visiting graves, but I am also reaching out to any other philosophers or anyone interested in philosophy to meet up (maybe at a café or something) so that we can all connect minds and have philosophical discussions around some fundamental questions. I have attached a photo of a rough guide of when and where I will be during my EuroPhilo Tour down below. I would love to hear from you, so don’t hesitate to send me a Direct message via my Instagram page @daseinthephilosopher or my Facebook page “Dasein The Philosopher” if you are interested in meeting up and participate in these discussions. My mission as a philosopher is to simplify philosophy enough so that it can be accessible to everyone, even the non-philosopher so that we can all hopefully live more meaningful lives.





Anyway, that is all for now, hope everyone has a great day and I look forward to meeting all of you that share a passion of philosophy!

See you soon,
