001: Camus' "The Stranger" and the Absurd


Listen Later

Most of us have asked, at one point or another, what the meaning of life is, and by extension, how to proceed through life once one realizes that it could be meaningless. This was a huge topic of reflection for the French-Algerian journalist and thinker, Albert Camus, throughout the first half of the 20th century. In this episode of The Last Sisyphus Podcast, I discuss how Camus' philosophical idea of "the Absurd" manifests in his first published piece of fiction, "The Stranger," and how we, in the 21st century, can realize and apply the Absurd in our own lives.
