10. "Albert Camus". Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. What is the Camusean alternative to suicide or hope? The answer is to live without escape and with integrity, in “revolt” and defiance, maintaining the tension intrinsic to human life
now, interestingly, when the nihilists say No, for five times, they are still lively alive, therefore, we must assume that they are happily nihilistic, they enjoy it, after all
剛剛突然知道 the absurd 就是 despair 加上 futility 這兩個字 是我過去用來描述治療室的字 (2020-10-4)
| Monotheistic existentialism | Atheistic existentialism | Absurdism | Nihilism | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | There is such a thing as meaning or value: | Yes | Yes | It is a logical possibility. | No |
| 2. | There is inherent meaning in the universe: | Yes, but the individual must have come to the knowledge of God. | No | No | No |
| 3. | The pursuit of meaning may have meaning in itself: | Yes | Yes | Such a pursuit can and should generate meaning for an individual, but death still renders the activity "ultimately" meaningless. | No |
| 4. | The individual's construction of any type of meaning is possible: | Yes, though this meaning would eventually incorporate God, being the creator of the universe and the "meaning" itself. | Yes, meaning-making in a world without inherent meaning is the goal of existentialism. | Yes, though it must face up to the Absurd, which means embracing the transient, personal nature of our meaning-making projects and the way they are nullified by death.[10] | No |
| 5. | There is resolution to the individual's desire to seek meaning: | Yes, the creation of one's own meaning involving God. | Yes, the creation of one's own meaning. | Embracing the absurd can allow one to find joy and meaning in one's own life, but the only "resolution" is in eventual annihilation by death. | No |
