>The literal meaning of life is whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourselfSo he basically solved philosophy right? His answer is so simple yet powerful that I find myself uninterested by other philosophers now.
>>25087860You can’t ”solve philosophy” without metaphysics.Camus is a fiction writer and not a philosopher.
Philosophy deals with much more than just "the meaning of life" midwit
>>25087862>>25087864The fundamental question of philosophy has always been "how should we live." Metaphysics was originally in service of that question, though many have forgotten this. Metaphysics divorced from ethics has no use or meaning, it is just baseless speculation, like arguing how many angels can dance on a head of a pin
>>25087873Right, you can be of that opinion, but even still, Camus philosophy has no metaphysical foundation and is thus useless. Same goes for actual philosophers like Schopenhauer. If you feel happy following what he said then go ahead, but he hasn’t ”solved” anything.
>>25087860Personal philosophy is retarded yesWorldly philosophy is the real shit
>>25087860>run! don't think runrunrunrunWoah, such philosophy
>>25087860>NOOOO YOU CAN’T KILL YOURSELFSpooked. Do what you want.
>>25087864Metaphysics literally doesn't matter
You can be right but that’s also how you feel every time you read a new philosopher. If any time you read one and feel agreement with his ideas and assume nothing better can ever make you question further philosophy of course you’ve never reading anything new again, and never discovering any new perspective. >But I also get your point I myself was very moved too by Sisyphus myth. But although it solves the problem of life there are plenty of other philosophical questions yet to solve so don’t stop yourself from reading other people
>>25087862fpbpthere's a reason normies disproportionately gravitate to existentialism as opposed to say german idealism or ontology
>>25087860Can you do me a favor and provide the quotation where Camus literally uses the word "literally"?
>>25087860I lose respect for anyone that likes this nigger. His philosophy is bland as fuck, and his life goes to show what it means, fucks nothing. He cheated on her wife multiple times, basically mind raping her into the hospital. Can't believe how much I hate this retard.
>>25088277A whole lot of modern philosophy falls apart once you realize they were simply justifying their own failed lives. Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Marx, Sartre, Heidegger, de Beauvoir, Camus, Foucault, Chomsky....all were either incels, pedos, or shallow hedonists who detested religion as it unambiguously stated that they had all lived a failure of a life.
>>25087873your brain has clearly been mindraped by self-help utilitarianism ans is incapable of interacting with texts or ideas outside of any foundation other than muh use
>>25087862yeah but you can't solve metaphysics without God.we didn't make this place or ourselves; that's philosophy's anthropocentric error that it's been trying to circumvent for ages and gets in the way of an explanation for our (lack of) apotheosis vis-a-vis Theosis and Theocentrism.
>>25087860baby first philosopher
>>25088758>we didn't make this place or ourselves;We only need to consider what we have been given to know what to do. Even when we got the understanding of the process of evolution all it brought was more truth on the virtue ethics of the ancients: promote life, your life, happiness through that, and obtain power to promote it is the only real truth that matters, but don't shun and detest society too much to the point where you go back to being detrimental to your self.
First you need to establish why killing yourself is bad
