is it Camus who actually committed philosophical suicide by committing us to absurdity?
Or was it Kierkegaard because he gave up his questions to be answered by God?
According to Camus, the theistic thinkers gave up rationality and looked for hope instead. Hope in transcendence.
Staying in the absurdity and finding meaning in the situation is what brings joy. For Camus, joy is the transcendence. But doesn't that mean that he himself has committed philosophical suicide by choosing something?
