Emerging from existential nihilism, absurdism exclaims that there is no meaning to life, as coined by Kierkegaard, to which Albert Camus’s existentialst perspective exclaims, there are two choices: to kill oneself or find one’s own meaning. While these premises originally predicated God, meaning(lessness) has since been considered beyond scopes of religion and into everyday life. Absurdism comes from the idea that meaninglessness provides some aspect of liberation, providing people with an avenue to redefine any situation within the absurdist framework which is, essentially, limitless.
