Absurdism
    #14542607 - 05/31/11 08:41 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

I was just surfing the net, and i discovered a philosophy that appeals to me greatly so i thought i would share it with you lovely people, :heart: "Absurdism" ""The Absurd" refers to the conflict between the human tendency to seek value meaning in life and the human inability to find any. In this context absurd does not mean "logically impossible," but rather "humanly impossible."[1] The universe and the human mind do not each separately cause the Absurd, but rather, the Absurd arises by the contradictory nature of the two existing simultaneously."

love is the answer, to the question, how do we change the world?

Hard to argue with that.

Eh, I dunno. The Myth of Sisyphus certainly does a good job of describing how one feels in the midst of an existential crisis, but as a philosophy, I would say Absurdism falls flat on its face.
