I remember when i first started reading Camus i would research the book i was about to start before even touching it. Research the book and the author. desu knowing what the author was all about is more important than researching the book.

Id say that its more of the beginning of philosophy.


All absurdism is just realizing that life has no inherent meaning. But the fact that life has no meaning isn't positive or negative by itself. Teenage absurdism is basically just nihilism. Camus absurdism is more like, life has no meaning, so why not give it meaning. Hitch thought that we give life meaning through things like philosophy, poetry, literature, and art. Thats where i stand any way.
