To me there's something honest about my rejection of an identity that was forced on me. I didn't get to choose it. Every morning when I wake up in bed I feel like that damned insect in Kafka's story The Metamorphosis. It's absurd.
@@GregoryBSadler this identity that I come my rejecting honestly (at least as far as I'm concerned) is one that's detestable to me. Like an absurd costume that I desperately need to take off. Unfortunately I can't take it off. It's on for the duration. The fact is, under these circumstances I can only resent my existence.
@@GregoryBSadler I meant to thank you for your response and also for your youtube channel videos. They're powerfully informative. And as for me, nature has everything set up to be intolerable over the long run and I've already run a very long long way. Suffice it to say, I'm able to recognize a casualty in the making when I see one (especially when it's me). Anyway, thanks again. And my best to you.
Okay, so, I've been trying to get a handle on Camus' absurd through watching your lectures (which I like a lot). I was wondering if we could relate the absurd to Kafka's Metamorphosis by focusing on how the family members of the guy who turned into an insect took their whole worldview and coinsiding values as so serious and necessary. How they, as far as I recall, didn't really care for the individual as the surface elements of his person had changed. If we think of Heidegger in this context, maybe we could see this as the they and being-in-the-world providing the inconspicuous cultural framework through which reality was to be comprehended. Relevant would also be how the then-insect-guy wanted just to get to work even though he woke up as a member of a different species. In your video on the Myth of Sisyphus (your misspronounciation which other people, and now I, have mentioned (but which isn't really relevant in consideration of the philosophy) is in the second "s" and how you sometimes say "f" in its place) and on the video on the absurd, you say that the absurd is in the relation between the rational subject and the nonrational world. In relation to the Metamorphosis, could we see this as the insect dude wanting to get to work and valuing this aspect of reality in the extent that he did? I mean that the rational subject would here have presupposed the value that was seen in working (this value would be the meaning projected to subsist in reality), but in truth this value never would have really existed in the nonrational world. Would the absurd be this false assumption that working and money and perhaps status would be so important that it would have exceeded the relevance of having turned into an insect? Btw, I really like the youtube channel. Keep up the good work👍 or don't, it's your life :)
@@GregoryBSadler The thing is that I haven't read any of his writing. I will buy a copy of the Myth of Sisyphus this week, but as of now I don't have it. And I don't think I understand the concept of the absurd yet. As a clarificatory remark, I was wondering if absurd is that there is meaning taken to subsist objectively in the world? Does the absurd extend to the domain of average everydayness, or is it just about the lack, or ignorance, of some fundamental spiritual foundation of reality?
That's great. Your effort is much appreciated. Good job!
Thanks
You are a inspirational person, Is going to be interesting to learn about philosophy as a beginner.
This is amazing
I read this 4 times and only understood now
That's sometimes the way it goes with classic works
Sir do You have any proper notes or analysis on this note..
No idea what you're asking.
actually I cannot fine any notes on this topic, and I find it really hard to analyse this topic

It probably depends on how you reject it. Just rejecting it isn’t by itself particularly honest

As you know from reading the Camus, there's many ways the absurd can manifest

@@jonttu617 What do I ALWAYS say about using lectures as a substitute for reading? Read the works, THEN watch videos, listen to podcasts, etc.
@@GregoryBSadler oh well, I don't recall hearing this. Thank you nonetheless.
