Wilson, you know my veiws on the stranger, this article is pretty close to the same, but it has some interesting value, i do belive that it has some good ideas and demonstrates a different type of philosiphy.

After reading this I can really see how absurdism relates to The Stranger and I found that i agreed with a lot of the things that the article talked about.

I liked it, pretty much tells you that the starting point and destination of life are uncontrollable and not important, but it is how you get there that is. It is important how you play your cards, since you cannot choose them.

I feel as if this "absurdism" is quite pessimistic.

"Such a realization or encounter with the absurd leaves the individual with a choice: suicide, a leap of faith, or acceptance."

However Kierkegaard is quite a philosophical genius..
