Status Updates From Existentialisme is humanisme

Finished the introduction… started the lecture

I agree with him, afterall, unlike Kafka with his narratives full of signs that seem meaningful but hard to fully understand, Camus finds tragey in the lack of any transcendence. In Camus' world, meaning isn't hidden but simply doesn't exist.

In "A Commentary on The Stranger," he talked about how Camus creates the feeling of absurd and for him, isn't just an idea, but a condition of human life where a gap between our desire for order and meaning of the messy world we live in. He also separates The Myth of Sisyphus from The Stranger, even tho Camus is often compared to writers like Kafka, Sartre argues that Camus is quite different.

Sartre admitted that freedom exists only within a situations, you ain't free to fly by flapping your arm but free to invent the airplane, the problem still remains, systemic slavery, and his answer not satisfied me, he said the individual is free only to extent that they can revolt against the situation, but we ain't we should change that situation so freedom becomes a livid reality? not just a mental state.
