quote:
ORIGINAL: LotusSong There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Albert Camus or this one: "The absurd man will not commit suicide; he wants to live, without relinquishing any of his certainty, without a future, without hope, without illusions, and without resignation either. He stares at death with passionate attention and this fascination liberates him. He experiences the "divine irresponsibility" of the condemned man." (from Sartre analysis of Mersault, in Literary and Philosophical Essays, 1943) LotusSong: That is Sartre's take on Camus's Mersault.....but then Sartre was an existentialist and Camus was not, although he was labled as such because he and Sartre were buds for a while. thompson
