#94: Jamal Lyksett (An Absurd Reasoning Overview)

Jamal and I give an overview of the topics Camus discusses in chapter 1 of his Nobel prize winning essay, The Myth of Sisyphus. In addition to that, Jamal does a great job comparing Buddhism to Camus' absurdism by connecting the ideas of attachment, enlightenment, etc. to encountering the absurd. Jamal is a philosophy professor at the University of Idaho.
