About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of the absurd, a philosophical and literary notion that has fascinated thinkers and artists throughout history. The author traces the development of this idea from its roots in ancient Greek philosophy to its modern manifestations in existentialism and postmodernism. Through an examination of key texts and influential thinkers, the book explores the nature of the absurd, its relationship to reason and faith, and its implications for human existence. The author argues that the absurd is not merely a philosophical abstraction but a fundamental aspect of the human condition, one that can lead to both despair and liberation. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the absurd, shedding new light on its significance in literature, philosophy, and the human experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
