Understanding the Absurdity of Existentialism

The concept of absurdity can be difficult to define, but it generally refers to something that is illogical, unreasonable, or contradictory. In the context of existentialism, the absurd is often used to describe the human condition, in which we seek meaning and purpose in a seemingly meaningless and purposeless world. The idea is that our desire for meaning and reason is inherently at odds with the fact that the universe does not provide us with any inherent meaning or purpose. This can lead to feelings of alienation, anxiety, and despair, but it can also be a source of liberation and empowerment.
