'''Absurdism''' is a [[philosophy]] [[stating]] that the [[efforts]] of [[humanity]] to find [[inherent]] [[meaning]] in the [[universe]] ultimately fail (and hence are absurd), because no such [[meaning]] exists, at least in [[relation]] to the [[individual]]. "The Absurd," therefore, is commonly used in philosophical [[discourse]] to refer to the clash between the [[human]] search for [[meaning]] and the human inability to find any. In this [[context]] absurd does not mean "logically impossible," but rather "humanly impossible." | '''Absurdism''' is a [[philosophy]] [[stating]] that the [[efforts]] of [[humanity]] to find [[inherent]] [[meaning]] in the [[universe]] ultimately fail (and hence are absurd), because no such [[meaning]] exists, at least in [[relation]] to the [[individual]].
