In this video, we explore the deep existential themes in Sebastian Barry’s Old God’s Time. What happens when our memories start to unravel? How does trauma shape our identity? And can we find healing when we're unsure of the past?
Join me as we dive into a philosophical analysis of Old God’s Time, where memory, trauma, guilt, and identity intersect. Drawing on existential philosophy from thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Søren Kierkegaard, we’ll examine how the novel tackles profound questions about personal identity and the human condition.
🔍 In this video, you’ll learn about:
- The role of memory in shaping personal identity.
- How trauma distorts time and self-perception.
- The existential weight of guilt and how it impacts authenticity.
- Healing and redemption through the lens of existential philosophy.
