Abstract:

Since the publication of Albert Camus's "The Outsider" in 1942, there have been numerous studies on this subject. Among them, the most prominent is the absurdity embodied in "The Outsider". This paper sorted out the relevant literature and explained viewpoints with reference to previous studies. First, the paper introduced the basic concept of "absurd philosophy", and explained the text absurdity in detail from three dimensions, Meursaults character, social group and state apparatus. At last, the paper praised the fearless authority of Meursault, and condemned his self-righteousness and narrow

Abstract:

Understanding the philosophy of the Absurd has always solicited the attention of modern and post- modern critics, scholars and researchers. The Absurd remains one of the most inscrutable concepts that both philosophy and literature have produced ever. The Absurd as a vision of life came at a time when Western societies were experiencing a transitional juncture in terms of social, cultural, philosophical, political and technological changes. These societies were progressively shifting from traditional values of conservatism and uniformism that were essential characteristics of the first half of

In Teilhard de Chardin's philosophy, the "Omega Point" represents the highest point of complexity and consciousness in the universe. The framework is discussed in the context of his views on cosmic evolution, human consciousness, and the intricate interconnection between all life forms. The article attempts t

Abstract:

Following two world wars, the human essence was affected by pessimism and a loss of faith. As a result, new existentialist literature was produced, resulting in a new wave of absurdist fiction plays. The theatre of the absurd was first termed by Martin Esslin, whereas the term ‘absurd’ was first used by Albert Camus in his classic essay ‘The Myth of Sisyphus’. Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot,” a tragic comedy, (1952) is among the most mysterious dramas of the twentieth century that represents the philosophy of absurdism.

ABSTRACTPeople have inferred that our lives are absurd from the supposed fact that nothing we do will matter in a million years. In this article, I critically discuss this argument for absurdity. After explaining how two refutations in the literature fail to undermine the best version of the argument, I produce several considerations that together do take much of the force out of the argument. I conclude by suggesting that these considerations not only refute this argument for absurdity, but also constitute a motivation to be moral.

Human lives are often full of suffering experienced as serving no purpose whatsoever – indeed, suffering that may threaten to make life itself meaningless. Some philosophers—e.g., D.Z.

Though always ingenious, sometimes funny, and occasionally informative about the reception of Vergil, they are seldom admired.

Abstract:

Cognitive science, the attempt to provide an account of human intelligence and behavior by reference to physical “mechanisms” in the alleged neural control center of human beings, is one of the dominant philosophical projects of our time. The paper argues that Wittgenstein in para. 608 of Zettel develops an alternative to this almost universally accepted modern paradigm. However, his efforts have been widely misunderstood, in a fashion clarified by Kuhn, because scholars read competing paradigms in the light of their own cognitive science paradigm. In the present case, scholars have assumed th

The patriot classical Hindu protagonists are advocating vehemently for (re)establishing its old and golden image to the people, especially the students and youths in this vast country and the world as a whole. India just completed the celebration of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsab (Nectar Festival of Freedom) by commemorating its 75th year of Independence (from 1947 to 2022). India, henceforth, decided to celebrate the next twenty-five years as the “Amrit Kaal” i.e., golden period (from 2022-2047). During thi

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the role of Facebook's AI recommendation system through actor network theory (ANT). To this end, literature related to actor network theory, social media, and Facebook's AI recommendation system was reviewed to examine the characteristics and structure. In addition, the literature that studied the communication effect of social media and the social effect of AI recommendation system was examined. As a result of the study, the opaque 'AI recommendation system' was playing the role of a programmer and switcher for network power. The result lead

Abstract:

Shukshin’s characters tend to reflect on problems that cannot be called otherwise than philosophical. For example, in the film There Is Such a Lad, the characters indulge in arguments about death, love, and the meaning of life more than once. So, already in Shukshin’s early works, two poles - love and death - that determine the themes of his characters’ philosophical reflections were identified. Despite the abundance of thanatological motifs and symbols in the film, the director rejects the philosophy of pessimism. The final phrase of the film is permeated with a life-affirming pathos: “So, we

Abstract:

Literary transmission of a subject has been a perennial phenomenon through the mode of literature because literary works are not produced in vacuum. Authors transpire the spirit of an age by creative amalgamation of their external influences, which they absorb from their social consciousness, and their internal influences to create fictional literary images, style, themes and motifs for a work. In this manner, an author’s influence from a preceding text or social consciousness exports to the successive literary works incessantly across the temporal and spatial dimensions.

I consider Kant’s theory of matter, examine his distinction between “formal” and “material” purposiveness, review the related secondary literature, and interpret the role of the stuff of which organs consist in his conception of the special characteristics of organisms. As organisms ingest or absorb compounds, they induce chemical changes among those materials to grow and repair organs. Those organs have their functions with respect to each other in part on account of the materials of which they are composed. A Kantian biological law, I argue, is a coordinated system of lower-order chemical an

Abstract:

The article discusses the question of what absurd is. At first, the absurd seems to exist in two forms — semantic and existential. Semantic absurd is a characteristic of a statement, whilst existential absurd is a characteristic of a person's existence. However, the article shows that these are not two different entities but one. In antiquity, absurdity was synonymous with the falsity of a conclusion. In modern philosophy, Husserl, in Logical Investigations, believes that absurd objects cannot be understood. However, Tertullian's line appears already in early Christianity, linking absurd with

While these two literary works are often seen as foundational texts in their respective national literatures, they both also explore the dam
