Nachricht:	>Und zwar [i:The Myth of Sisyphus] (1942) von Albert Camus. Das passt, finde ich, wunderbar hier rein. Und da ich gerade zu faul bin alles in meinen eigenen Worten runterzutippen, habe ich schnell nach passenden Informationen gegoogelt (Quelle: Academy of Ideas, 2016). Bitte nur als Diskussionsansatz verstehen und nicht als Aufforderung zu irgendwas - wie Camus mit dem Thema des Absurden im menschlichen Alltag umgeht ist imo heute aktueller denn je und durchaus lesenswert. Jedenfalls, hier die Kernaussage: > >[i:What is one to do when faced with the realization that human existence is absurd? In the Myth of Sisyphus Camus put forth two preliminary strategies for dealing with this awareness: physical suicide and philosophical suicide: > >Some people commit physical suicide upon the realization that life is absurd, believing that if life has no meaning it must not be worth the trouble. > >While physical suicide is one ‘solution’, many more tend towards what Camus called philosophical suicide. In the attempt to flee from the unsettling awareness of the absurdity of life, they escape through faith and hope. Despite no evidence, such people adopt the belief that beyond this earthly existence exists absolute harmony, nirvana, meaning, or God. > >Camus viewed both types of suicide – physical and philosophical – as possible responses to the awareness that life is absurd: > >“Does its [life’s] absurdity require one to escape it through hope or suicide —that is what must be clarified, hunted down, and elucidated while brushing aside all the rest. Does the Absurd dictate death?” (The Myth of Sisyphus) > >[b:While admitting suicide as a possible response to the absurd, Camus concluded that those who choose to commit physical or philosophical suicide fail to understand that to maintain an awareness of the absurd without opting for death represents an accomplishment – a supreme state of consciousness.] To be aware of the absurd and of the crushing fate which awaits is for Camus to become superior to it. Such an individual Camus called an “absurd hero”. > >The maintenance of a lucid awareness of the absurdity of life tends to naturally stimulate “revolt”, a feeling of outrage and protest against one’s tragic condition, and a defiant refusal to be broken by it. > >“It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity. It is an insistence upon an impossible transparency. It challenges the world anew every second…It is not aspiration, for it is devoid of hope. That revolt is the certainty of a crushing fate, without the resignation that ought to accompany it.” (The Myth of Sisyphus)
