Abstract:
Concretization of the discursive space of the models “absurd in literature” and “literature of the absurd” consists in their comparison, as well as the differentiation of related concepts of the sphere of the absurd (paradoxical and absurd, irrational and absurd, etc.), since, despite their Dialogic nature, they do not coincide in certain parameters. Meanwhile, the issue of dividing terms included in the paradigm of the absurd, we touch indirectly, especially since we will not find a clear division of these related terms in the works of researchers, since the border bet

Abstract:
Much has been made of the Kierkegaardian flavour of Wittgenstein's thought on religion, both with respect to its explicit allusions to Kierkegaard and its implicit appeals. Even when significant disparities between the two are noted, there remains an important core of de facto methodological agreement between them, addressing the limits of theory and the dispelling of illusion. The categories of ‘nonsense’ and ‘paradox’ are central to Wittgenstein's therapeutic enterprise, while the categories of ‘paradox’ and the ‘absurd’ are central to much of Kierkegaard's attempt (pseudonymous and non-pseu

In this article, the concepts of absurd drama, absurd theater, are the conditional name of the current in dramaturgy. In the 50s and 60s of the last century, proponents of the movement argued that human life was meaningless and abstract. According to them, man cannot even understand why he is living. He is constantly talking about being a victim of false duty, false morals, false relationships.

Kafka's work presents a strong absurd, nihilistic, and symbolic writing style. As his late novel, "The Castle" recounts the desperate struggle of the little people under the power system, revealing the tragic nature of absurd nothingness. The blind worship of the power system and the discipline of the individual in a totalitarian society doom everything to the dust. Everything is a puppet of abstraction and symbolism. Kafka borrowed "The Castle" to express the absurdity of human paradox. The so-called absurdity, Yunescu believes: "Absurdity refers to the lack of meaning...... Man is cut off fr

In the work by the French writer Claude Magnier (1920–1983) we can observe the features of the theatre of the absurd, among which the creative method of paradox dominates. The aim of the article is the analysis of the conceptual aesthetic features of the theatre of the absurd in the Play by Claude Magnier “Blaise”. It is appropriate to classify the play as a comedy, which is experimentally filled with elements of farce, buffoonery, but is in accordance with the “modern” world-view of the 20th century.

Many philosophers strive for a thin ontology but are nevertheless unwilling to curtail ordinary and scientific talk that carries apparent commitment to the entities they reject. As Carnap put it, such a philosopher speaks with an uneasy conscience, ‘like a man who in his everyday life does with qualms many things which are not in accord with the high moral principles he professes on Sundays.’ To appear less hypocritical he may, of course, tell us openly what he is doing and invite us to join him.

Abstract:
A number of further paradoxes involving probability, decision theory, and infinity are adduced. Some, like Satan’s Apple and Beam’s paradox, only provide weak evidence for causal finitism. But a particularly interesting paradox allows an agent who has from eternity been playing a fair die-guessing game, which game will one day come to an end, to leverage information from past rolls to ensure that shemakes only finitely many wrong guesses.This is absurd: leveraging past information in fair rolls should be just as irrational as the Gambler’s Fallacy.

Abstract:
It is sometimes argued in support of discounting future costs and benefits that if we gave the same weight to the future as to the present, we would invest nearly all our income, but never spend it. Rather than enjoying the fruits of our investments, we would always do better to reinvest them. Undiscounted utilitarianism (UU), so the argument goes, is collectively self-defeating. This attempted reductio ad absurdum fails. Regardless of whether each generation successfully followed UU, or merely attempted to follow it, we could never get trapped in endless saving.

Building on this theme, the chapter elaborates on the unique features of yin-yang balancing, in contrast to Aristotle’s formal logic and Hegel’s dialectics in the West.

Abstract:
Vagueness is currently the subject of vigorous debate in the philosophy of logic and language. Vague terms-such as "tall", "red", "bald", and "tadpole"—have borderline cases (arguably, someone may be neither tall nor not tall); and they lack well-defined extensions (there is no sharp boundary between tall people and the rest). The phenomenon of vagueness poses a fundamental challenge to classical logic and semantics, which assumes that propositions are either true or false and that extensions are determinate. Another striking problem to which vagueness gives rise is the sorites paradox. If you

It is shown that there are rational as well as irrational Moorean desires. Those that are irrational are also absurd, although there seem to be absurd desires that are not irrational. The chapter concludes that certain norms of rational desire should be rejected.

Abstract G. E. Moore observed that to say,’I went to the pictures last Tuesday but I don’t believe that I did’ would be ‘absurd’ (1942: 543). Over half a century later, such sayings continue to perplex philosophers and other students of language, logic, and cognition. On the one hand, such sayings seem distinct from semantically odd Liar-type sayings such as ‘What I’m now saying is not true’. Unlike Liar-type sentences, what Moore said might be true: One can readily imagine a situation in which Moore went to the pictures last Tuesday but does not believe that he did so.

However, there are counterexamples to this version of the thesis, as well as other cases of deviant assertion, which militate in favour of the incredibility of the assertor approach, according to which Moore

Abstract In view of what the philosophical imagination has done with Moore’s paradox, there should be no doubt that Moorean Absurdity may be symptomatic of a number of philosophical ills (that is, the kind of flaw of intellectual or moral character that philosophers seek to understand). A main concern for those who have been influential in the debate about the problem is explaining why a Moore-absurd belief is a case of irrationality. Indeed, whatever else may truly be said about it, we will not have found a satisfactory account of Moorean Absurdity until we have an unobjectionable explanation

Abstract A paradox in common parlance is an apparently absurd proposition supported by an argument. But I will shift the focus and say that a paradox is an argument from apparently true premisses by apparently valid steps to an apparently false conclusion. Paradoxes fall into three kinds.1 First, there are paradoxes consisting of a sound argument with a true but surprising conclusion, such as Cantor’s argument that a line segment of unit length contains no fewer points than a square whose sides have unit length.

Abstract Chapter 9 argues that some but not all assertions of the form p and I do not know that p are absurd or irrational. This goes against the view that the norm of assertion is to assert only what one knows. Various arguments for this view are considered and criticized. In reality, there are different types of assertions, distinguished by different aims and governed by different norms, which are often practical rather than epistemic.

Equilibrium assumptions posit relations between different people's beliefs and behavior without describing a process that causes these relations to hold.

Equilibrium assumptions also imply absurd paradoxes: history can determine future behavior without affecting any intervening state variables today; individuals can learn informatio
