El suicidio y el absurdo de la existencia desde la mirada filosófica de Albert Camus

Abstract

Suicide is a complex and delicate subject that has been approached from different perspectives throughout human history. In this paper, we will focus on analyzing suicide from the philosophical viewpoint of Albert Camus, who considered the absurdity of existence to be one of the main causes of suicide in contemporary society. In this sense, our aim is to explore how Camusian philosophy can help us understand the roots of the problem of suicide today and how we can approach it from a more humane and comprehensive perspective. To do so, we will analyze Camus' main works, such as "The Myth of Sisyphus" and "The Stranger", and relate them to some social problems such as migration, violence and unemployment that affect our society today. In short, this paper aims to contribute to the debate on suicide and to offer a deep reflection on the meaning of life from the philosophical perspective of Albert Camus.
