Philosophy Book Club: The Myth of Sisyphus

Details

The foundational text for understanding absurdism is Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus". This philosophical essay explores the concept of the "absurd," which is the conflict between humanity's desire for meaning and the universe's apparent meaninglessness. Camus argues that the absurd man accepts this conflict without seeking to escape it through faith or suicide.

I have wanted to read this for years, so this is the perfect opportunity to make myself do it! So lets read this meaningful text and discuss meaninglessness, and the fun that can be had when nothing matters ;)

Looking forward to seeing you there and the great discussion we will have!
(This is being posted well in advance of the meetup so everyone has time to read it but please do not feel like you have to have read it in order to attend, all are welcome!)
