![]() ![]() The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. ![]() However, this world in itself is not absurd, what is absurd is our relationship with the universe, which is irrational. ![]() The “unreasonable” silence of the universe Trying to define this, is like water slipping through one’s fingers. The Absurd is the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning in life, and the human inability to find any meaning in a purposeless, meaningless, and irrational universe, with the “unreasonable silence” of the universe in response.
