[HELP] I have to write a homework connecting a philosopher with the contemporary problems and I need help.
What topics could I connect Spinoza's thought with the society's contemporary problems?
And, in the case of Sartre, how could I connect him with this same contemporary problems?
>>8147951
Closet Homosexuality
Should be obvious why.
Is it possible to work with spinoza or Sartre and the corruption?

homework is a spook

You could always connect Sartre's concept of "bad faith" to using the internet to do essays for you. I think there's room for a lot of hard-hitting insight there.

What the fuck is a contemporary problem?

responsability for the environment, slavery, corrupt government, immigration....
You could talk about othering/dehumanization in contemporary politics (migrants as non/subhumans, the attempt to censor freedom of speech by all political parties...) as fundamentally opposed to his worldview - I mean, it's just "antiwholeness" kind of.
