Absurd 1100 Words You Need

/əbˈsɜːd/ (adj)

amusingly ridiculous and foolish, ludicrous and irrational, unreasonable, meaningless, silly, bizarre, illogical, pointless, futile

Absurdism is a type of philosophy. People who support and argue for absurdism are known as ‘absurdists’. Absurdists think that the human condition is essentially absurd because humans are always looking for meaning, but are completely unable to find meaning because no such meaning exists. In philosophy, this is called ‘the Absurd’. In this case absurd means that it is not possible to be done by humans.

Absurdists, most notably Albert Camus, believe that when human beings realize this fundamental absurdity they have different reactions. One reaction is suicide, but this is not generally considered to be a viable solution by Absurdists; suicide is in and of itself the most absurd action possible. The final reaction is to accept the absurd, and also to keep trying to overcome it. Camus believed that a human being could become happy by finding meaning in their relationship with absurdity.
