Camus on the Absurd


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore Albert Camus, a pivotal figure in 20th-century French philosophy, who introduced the concept of "the absurd," a fundamental conflict inherent in the human condition. His philosophy asserts that life is devoid of intrinsic meaning, yet humans instinctively seek order and purpose, leading to an inevitable clash with the indifferent universe. Camus' exploration of the absurd challenges individuals to embrace this tension without resort to false hopes, advocating for a life of integrity and defiance despite existential uncertainties.
