Absurdism

In absurdist philosophy, the Absurd arises out of the fundamental disharmony between the individual’s search for meaning(Existentialist) and the meaninglessness(Nihilist) of the universe. As beings looking for meaning in a meaningless world, humans have three ways of resolving the dilemma. Kierkegaard and Camus describe the solutions…

1. Suicide
2. Religious, spiritual, or abstract belief in a transcendent realm, being, or idea.
3. Acceptance of the Absurd

Christian Existentialism

• Christianity => grace, humility, and love.
• God => Love.
• Evil => consequence of action.

Nihilism

• Life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.
• Knowledge is not possible.
• Reality does not actually exist.
