“Individuelle prosjekter og frie valg, men ikke isolert fra omverdens verdivalg”: Kan jeg fritt velge mine prosjekter? Hvilke verktøy trenger vi og hvordan anvender vi disse når vi skal realisere våre mål? Hvor går grensen mellom selvrealisering og hensynet til andre? Vi tar blant annet et dykk i gründervirksomhet og ser samtidig på hvordan vi i den sammenheng kan handle i samsvar med et ansvar og respekt for andre -i lys av Simone de Beauvoirs eksistensialistiske etikk.
