philosophy of the absurd
The philosophy of the absurd is a concept that refers to the belief that life is irrational, meaningless, and devoid of purpose. It explores the tension between the human desire to find meaning in the world and the realization that such meaning may be ultimately elusive. The philosophy of the absurd is often associated with existentialism and nihilism, questioning traditional beliefs about the nature of existence and challenging individuals to find their own meaning in an inherently chaotic and irrational universe.
