Description

Can you live with the absurd? And if you can, can you philosophically live with it? To Camus, philosophical suicide is the sudden leap the existentialist takes from nihilism to mysticism. This episode is my analysis of chapter 1, section 3, "Philosophical Suicide" of Albert Camus' nobel prize winning essay, The Myth of Sisyphus.
