Into the Absurd #91: The Myth of Sisyphus (2: Absurd Walls)
The contradiction that is met between our desire for meaning and the knowledge of its inexistence is the absurd. And this absurd is a wall that cannot be climbed over. This is episode two of my series on Albert Camus' Nobel Prize winning essay, The Myth of Sisyphus, in which I dive into section 2 of Chapter 1, "An Absurd Reasoning", i.e. "Absurd Walls". If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or depression, please read the Myth of Sisyphus in its entirety prior to listening to this podcast. Please reach out to people you love and tell them how you feel. I am likewise happy to help if you go to the contact link located near the bottom of my website.
