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?
No.
Also that book is extremely easy to read for philosophy. It is not very dense at all. You are in for a world of hurt if you try any legit philosophy. Camus is like the YA version of philosophy.
