Absurdity and Rebellion: Examining the Dilemmas and Solutions of Contemporary Youth's Spiritual Life through Camus' Philosophy of the Absurd
Absurdity" and "rebellion" are two core concepts in Albert Camus' philosophical system.From his literary works and philosophical essays, it is evident that he openly explains the existence of the absurd and gradually proposes rebuilding life values and spiritual worlds by directly confronting and rebelling against absurdity.In light of the current era, characterized by fragmented information and prominent structural contradictions, the absurdity of modern society, the disenchantment of value systems, as well as the isolation and alienation driven by both internal and external forces, young people are increasingly facing a crisis in their spiritual lives.A comprehensive view of Camus' philosophy of the absurd offers insights into the predicament and reconstruction of the youth's spiritual world.By adopting three approaches-"confronting the absurd, rebelling against the absurd, and embracing life"-this provides guidance for rebuilding the youth's spiritual world, offering a way for them to find and create meaning in existence.Through constructing a new value system, seeking individual spiritual solace, and actively engaging in positive actions, the youth's spiritual world can be enriched, enabling them to actively pursue life's values and realize their self-worth.
