that's right. existentialism is flawed system, because he tries to counter-attack the flaw stance that is the humanism that they call as liberal/libertarian rationalism.

>Philosophy formulates the questions implied in human existence, and theology formulates the answers implied in divine self-manifestation under the guidance of the questions implied in human existence. This is a circle which drives man to a point where question and answer are not separated. This point, however, is not a moment in time.[14]

The Plague is a cracking novel, Sisyphus is also a stimulating and readable effort but underwhelming and nothing that Nietzsche hadn't already covered.

>> No.7225917

Can someone explain why exactly we must 'imagine Sisyphus happy'? From what I understand he has understood or 'embraced' the futility, pointlessness and hopelessness of his situation and because he understands this fully he is happy for it. Why exactly does this understanding lead to happiness, it seems like an unexplained leap to me which is given some sort of credence by the word 'embrace' as though embracing a bad situation realistically is different and somehow better than accepting it

I understood it that Sisyphus is cursed to perform this task and there is absolutely no way he can escape it. Our first reaction would be to resist the cruely and arbitrariness of the curse. This "no, oh shit, why?" is adding to burden - by embracing the task he is removing the resistance and can begin to find what little fragments of solace he has, like the relative freedom when the rock falls down the mountain, the good air etc.

It's amor fati again.

I always viewed it as a form of petty, but satisfactory vengeance against the human condition. Like bending over and showing your ass to the queen just before you are executed.

Yeah once you realize virtually all philosophy after Nietzsche can be summarized by like one of his lines is when you start comprehending what he's doing

Amor fati is by far one of the best ideas Nietzsche had and is a parallel to eternal recurrence without being mystical. Seriously underrated. The übermensch is overrated at tbh

If I die today, I die happy. That is what Nietzsche taught me. Not to care anymore about the exact consequences, just to do what I do with passion and fury

He's quite seriously the best philosopher to have lived and people who believe he's edgy are the most retarded people imaginable.

Morality is subjective. It's okay to commit murder if you think it's morally acceptable.

Whoa, now that I think of it, life *is* weird...

Did Camus condone Mersault's actions/outlook? I know that for example his Caligula did not perfectly represent his real views.
