In absurdist philosophy, the Absurd arises out of the fundamental disharmony between the individual's search for meaning and the meaninglessness of the universe. As beings looking for meaning in a meaningless world, humans have three ways of resolving the dilemma. Kierkegaard and Camus describe the solutions in their works, The Sickness Unto Death (1849) and The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), respectively:
- Escaping existence: Both Kierkegaard and Camus dismiss the viability of this option. Camus states that it does not counter the Absurd. Rather, in the act of escaping one's existence, one's existence only becomes more absurd.
- Religious, spiritual, or abstract belief in a transcendent realm, being, or idea.
- Acceptance of the Absurd: a solution in which one accepts the Absurd and continues to live in spite of it.
We accept.
