Question 1 of 3
According to Camus, what is the 'absurd'?
Explanation: Camus defines the absurd as the confrontation or 'divorce' between humanity's need for clarity and meaning, and the universe's irrational silence. It's not inherent in either man or the world alone, but arises from their clash.
Question 2 of 3
What does Camus mean by 'philosophical suicide'?
Explanation: Philosophical suicide, for Camus, is the act of leaping into faith or abstract systems that provide ultimate meaning, thereby denying the reality of the absurd confrontation and escaping its implications.
Question 3 of 3
How does Camus suggest one should respond to the absurd?
Explanation: Camus advocates for 'revolt' (or rebellion), which is a conscious, continuous defiance against the meaninglessness of existence. It's a refusal to accept limits, an assertion of human dignity, and a commitment to live fully despite the absurd.
