There’s a lot of stress in the world lately. I feel it. My family feels it. My friends and colleagues feel it. This Corona virus quarantine has been an isolating experience for nearly everyone, and it often feels like the stress of the situation is increasingly magnified by our feelings of isolation within it. Isolation feeds the stress, stress feeds the isolation, and we spiral down the existential toilet bowl. But being free to make our own choices within our circumstances hasn’t changed, and I think several philosophers living in WWII Europe wrestled with a similar question in the midst of a world also in turmoil. I believe they have a lot to teach us about freedom, choices, anxiety, and authenticity that can help us maintain a healthy version of our selves in this time of high and wide uncertainty.
