case_whenWhat do I need to read to get where you're coming from?
BrusqueThe Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camut. Absurdism/it philosophically examines whether one should commit suicide.
I started reading The Myth of Sisyphus because I’m interested in absurdism but haven’t read much other philosophy apart from some of the classic Stoic books. I found it very dense and hard to get through the first parts with references to philosophers I hadn’t read, does it get easier to read?
It does. Would recommend just skimming the first section as far as when you hit a reference to a philosopher you don’t care about. Once past that it’s a beautiful book.
