PHILOSPHY
The main idea of absurdism revolves around the concept that life is inherently meaningless, but humans persist in seeking meaning, creating a tension known as "the Absurd." Absurdism suggests embracing life without the constant delusions of inherent meaning. Rather than succumbing to despair or relying on baseless beliefs, absurdism advocates embracing life with freedom.

Or in other words, they're goofy nihilists with a 2012 yolo mentality.

FOUNDER

Albert Camus is usually credited as the founder of absurdism although some ideas of absurdism are also found in the works of Soren Kierkegaard.

MAJOR WORKS

Le Mythe de Sisyphe (The Myth of Sisyphus) and l'Étranger (The Stranger) by Albert Camus.
