If Life Has No Meaning, Why Live? | Albert Camus & The Absurd Man | Einzelgänger

25 Jul 2025

Description

If Life Has No Meaning, Why Live? | Albert Camus & The Absurd Man According to FrenchAlgerian philosopher Albert Camus, our world has no ultimate meaning, but if it had, it would be impossible to know it. It’s all pretty pointless as if the universe is nothing more than a cosmic coincidence, born without any specific goal or significance. For some, such a meaningless existence could lead to despair and even worse. So it seems that, for many, meaning is necessary to live; and without meaning, life is not worth living.Video: If Life Has No Meaning, Why Live? | Albert Camus & The Absurd ManSupport the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?
