Once stripped of its common romanticism, the world is a foreign, - TopicsExpress



          

Once stripped of its common romanticism, the world is a foreign, strange and inhuman place; true knowledge is impossible, and rationality and science cannot reveal the world—such explanations ultimately end in meaningless abstractions and metaphors. From the moment absurdity is recognized, it becomes a passion, the most harrowing of all. It is not the world that is absurd, nor human thought: the absurd arises when the human need to understand meets the unreasonableness of the world, when my appetite for the absolute and for unity meets the impossibility of reducing this world to a rational and reasonable principle.
