Philosophy & Meaning
Absurdism
Argues that humans’ inherent drive to find meaning conflicts with the universe’s silence on the matter, producing “the absurd” — and that this tension should be embraced rather than resolved with false answers.
Proponents
Albert Camus
Evidence For
Offers a coherent middle path between nihilism (abandoning the search for meaning) and religious or existentialist "leaps" that resolve the tension outright.
Evidence Against
Critics argue that "embracing the absurd" is itself a chosen stance, no more objectively justified than the alternatives it rejects.
