This is a visual podcast which tries to incorporate footages shot by its narrator, Anushray Singh; the audio-visual intermix in a "meaningful" manner may enhance the themes discussed in the podcast. In today's episode, On Absurdity of Life, we discuss the anti-philosophical stance of French-Algerian philosopher Albert Camus. Through his understanding of the absurdity of human condition which he compares to the myth of Sisyphus, we may seek comfort in knowing that the meaninglessness of our lives can give us the requisite courage and hope to live in defiance; which according to Camus means feeling fulfilled in our willingness to live life.
