The Absurd
- Disambiguation:
- Theatre of the Absurd
- Absurd (band)
In Philosophy, The Absurd refers to humans who continue to live their lives, despite knowledge that their lives are utterly pointless.
Why is life pointless?
The most common definition of "point" is that to have point, something (an object, or simply living one's life) must have a higher purpose to justify it. However, for that higher purpose to have "point", then it too must have an even higher purpose. These "chains of justification" never come to an end, therefore nothing can be considered to have ultimate purpose. If they did come to an end, they might still not satisfy us. For example, for a cow to know that its higher purpose was to be eaten would probably not satisfy it.
