"The Absurd" is a key concept in modern philosophy and literature, referring to a condition or experience in which the human desire for meaning is in tension with a world that does not necessarily provide a clear response to this desire. This issue gains particular significance in discussions concerning atheism, the meaning of life, and the crisis of spirituality in the modern world.
In this segment of his lecture titled "Atheism and the Crisis of Spirituality in Modern Literature," Arash Naraghi explores the concept of the absurd and examines its relationship with the experience of modern humanity. The discussion focuses on the intellectual and literary background of the emergence of the problem of the absurd and the difficulty of finding meaning in conditions where traditional foundations of meaning have been challenged.
The importance of this discussion lies in the connection between atheism, the crisis of spirituality, and the problem of the meaning of life. The concept of the absurd raises a fundamental question: if the world does not provide humans with a pre-given meaning, how should humans confront this situation and give meaning to their lives?
