midwit literature

>>25382368I liked The Outsider well enough but when I finished it and read the 'about the author' section and saw that he had a degree in philosophy it made me roll my eyes What a waste it must have been if that's all it amounted to

>>25382368Camus is only popular because le handsome sad cigarette frenchmanHis ideas were basically>ww2 buckbroke us and now we have no will to live
>>25383251Honesty this for me. If he wasn't so sexy, I don't think I'd care about him as much.
Cumass is a faggot and queer.
>>25382368I really liked The Plague. Give it a try.
>>25382368Second rate author and third rate philosopher. The works I have read from him were all solid, but nothing really special. Its a nice introduction point for a fusion of philosophy with literature, but nothing beyond that. He builds in philosophical elements pretty obvious and there are enough opinions out there to read different views about the works. The main reason he is popular is because he wrote absurd literature after WW2, which resonated with the people from that time. And because of his beauty. He was able to paint the absurd with his looks, which make it appeal to younger woman. If he looked like Sartre, he probably wouldn't be as popular. His philosophy seems unnecessary. It felt like didn't have any real arguments, only pathos. To be fair, he didn't think of himself as a philosopher either. But all his "life is absurd" to "don't be religious" and "we still have to be humanist" is a huge leap in most cases. Most of his existential dread pretty much has been done better by thinkers before him. >recently finished The stranger anyone know where to go from here?IIRC he wanted to publish a trio together, which didn't quite work out: Myth of Sisyphus, The Stranger, Caligula. These three works were meant as an introduction into him by him. They explain his basic thoughts. After that you can read The Plague and The Fall. The Plague was probably my favorite of his. I dropped The Fall somewhere in the middle though, because I become tired of him. Maybe I will actually pick it up again to see if I remember him correctly. All of what I said above can be taken with a grain of salt though. It has been a while since I have read him and there wasn't really anything that I found to be worth remembering. If he hadn't been brought up all the time everywhere, I probably would have forgotten about him completely. He even seems to be the most midwit one on reddit. You can search probably every thinker and after some point you will find a person that appears to have a grounded and good knowledge about a thinker. I haven't found that person that knows much about Camus. He seems to be the actual philosophical suicide trap for all the people there. They read most of him, but seemingly only him. They appear to not even notice all the random leaps he takes. I don't regret reading him, because I was able to move on from him.
>camus is attractive Maybe it’s because I’m a man but I never understood this. He looks like an overworked schoolteacher.
Are we picking our french intellectual bfs now?
