The world of politics is in turmoil. Populists are on the rise everywhere. With every Tweet Donald J. Trump propels that trend forward. But is it so bad? Why are many of the world’s commentators experiencing such high levels of anxiety? There’s another way to look at this situation. It might actually be good for us – philosophically. What if Trump is the best thing to happen to the world? Why? Because precisely because he is absurd. That’s what the head of Philosophy at South Mimms U believes. Dr. Leonard Box has started a group called Absurdist’s for Trump to help finance he campaigns. He links it to Albert Camus and his idea of futility and the existential crisis which we all feel from time to time. His argument is persuasive from a philosophical point of view, if not in terms of politics.
