A Discussion of Absurdity in the Philosophy of Albert Camus.
This paper will interrogate the arguments of Camus, with respect to the question of absurdity, in light of the criticism of Thomas Nagel. It will be argued that - for all its flaws and fundamental pessimism - Camus' understanding of absurdity allows us the capacity for meaningful human action; a quality denied by the ironic approach of Nagel. 6 pgs. 13 f/c. 2b.
